ye kaun meri tishnagi baDha baDha ke chal diya
aankh mein aansu ka aur dil mein lahu ka kal hai
dahakte kuchh KHayal hain ajib ajib se
hain sau tarah ke rang har ek naqsh-e-pa mein dekh
shaKH-e-buland-e-baam se ek din utar ke dekh
dur tak bas ek dhundalka gard-e-tanhai ka tha
nigah-e-shauq se husn-e-gul-o-gulzar to dekh
zindan-e-subh-o-sham mein tu bhi hai main bhi hun
kahkashan ke tanazur mein hum kya hamara sitara hai kya
bas ek tasalsul-e-takrar-e-qurb-o-duri tha
ghuTan azab-e-badan ki na meri jaan mein la
fitne ajab tarah ke saman-zar se uThe
jin pe ajal tari thi un ko zinda karta hai
badan se rishta-e-jaan motabar na tha mera
ata hui kise sanad nazar nazar ki baat hai
