rup rang milta hai KHadd-o-Khaal milte hain

bahut dinon se mere baam-o-dar ka hissa hai

main bar-ha teri yaadon mein is tarah khoya

shad itni baDh gai hain mere dil ki wahshaten

mujhe tujhse shikayat bhi hai lekin ye bhi sach hai

nai mushkil koi darpesh har mushkil se aage hai

chalo achchha hua aaKHir tumhaari nind bhi TuTi

maine to tasawwur mein aur aks dekha tha

kuchh talab mein bhi izafa karti hain mahrumiyan

main kab se nind ka mara hua hun aur kab se

ye sach hai chand lamhon ke liye bismil taDapta hai

ragon mein zahr-e-KHamoshi utarne se zara pahle

ek hum hain ki parastish pe aqida hi nahin

rafta rafta sab taswiren dhundli hone lagti hain

na jaane kitni aziyyat se KHud guzarta hai
