mujh mein kisi ka aks na partaw Khaali aaina hun main

KHwar-o-ruswa na sar-e-kucha-o-bazar mile

jab koi sham-e-hasin nazr-e-KHarabaat hui

lafzon ke siyah pairahan mein lipTi hui kuchh tanwiren hain

ye kaisa rabt hua dil ko teri zat ke sath

chaDhte dariya se bhi gar par utar jaoge

wo daur-e-nashat-o-dida-o-dil jaise bas abhi guzra hi to hai

dil ke waraq-e-sada pe kuchh rang ubhaaren

kitni diwaren uThi hain ek ghar ke darmiyan

laja laja ke sitaron se mang bharti hai

san li sada-e-koh-e-nida aur chal paDe

bikharte TuTte lamhon ko apna ham-safar jaana

ek bar mil ke phir na kabhi umr bhar mile

shahar ujDe hue KHwabon ke basae kya kya

sine mein kasak ban ke utarne ke liye hai
