nazar nazar mein ada-e-jamal rakhte the

KHwab kahan se TuTa hai tabir se puchhte hain

raat uske samne mere siwa bhi main hi tha

aankh se bichhDe kajal ko tahrir banane wale

yaad ashkon mein baha di humne

aafaq mein phaile hue manzar se nikal kar

baghair uske ab aaram bhi nahin aata

ban se fasil-e-shahr tak koi sawar bhi nahin

kashti bhi nahin badli dariya bhi nahin badla

bayaban dur tak maine sajaya tha

humne to be-shumar bahane banae hain

phir to is be-nam safar mein kuchh bhi na apne pas raha

ye jahan-naward ki dastan ye fasana Dolte sae ka

sote hain wo aaina le kar KHwabon mein baal banate hain

yun to sada-e-zaKHm baDi dur tak gai
