kyun ju-e-rawan aa ke yun aankhon mein khaDi hai
kaT gae hum to habibon se ijazat le kar
mathe pe paDi zulf-e-girah-gir hila di
jism ka ghar hi gira hai to na jaan Thahregi
ye hadisa hai magar us taraf hua bhi nahin
jab ek gul-ezar ki sohbat mein aa gaya
shahr mein ban ke mohabbat ka gadagar mangun
na talafiyan hi mangen na wafa na pyar mangen
chaarasazi ka talabgar lage hai wo bhi
zindagi apni hui yar ki fitrat ki tarah
ye ittifaq tha main us ka ham-zamana tha
gulon ko chum kar aai saba si lagti thi
thi qahr-e-sadgi bhi sanwarne se peshtar
