shahron mein nachta hua jangal hai aur main
thi qahr-e-sadgi bhi sanwarne se peshtar
kam kabhi rah ke aazar to hote honge
dard uTh uTh ke ye kahta hai rag-e-jaan ke qarib
wo to hashr tha magar uski ab wo shabahaten bhi chali gain
aage tum ho to jafaon ka qalaq yaad nahin
gulon ko chum kar aai saba si lagti thi
kyun ju-e-rawan aa ke yun aankhon mein khaDi hai
kohkan-e-shab the raha shaghl sahar hone tak
usko barson baad tanha jaane main kaisa laga
ehsas-e-be-zaban ki latafat isi mein thi
mathe pe paDi zulf-e-girah-gir hila di
tujhko dekha to meri aankh ne dekha mujh mein
puchhoge to khul jaegi zaKHmon ki zaban aur
kis pe qurban kise yaad hue the hum bhi
