bhaTak rahe hain gham-e-agahi ke mare hue
ye zard phul ye kaghaz pe harf gile se
kab gawara hai mujhe aur kahin par chamke
KHak-zada hun magar ta-ba falak jata hai
wafa ka shauq ye kis intiha mein le aaya
sada-e-muzhda-e-la-taqnatu ke dhaare par
aise rakhti hai hamein teri mohabbat zinda
mushkil to na tha aisa bhi aflak se rishta
zindagi shab ke jaziron se udhar DhunDte hain
wo ek KHwab ki aankhon mein jagmaga raha hai
kaDe hain hijr ke lamhat us se kah dena
so gaya oDh ke phir shab ki qabaen suraj
kisi ne dekh liya tha jo sath chalte hue
safar ka ek naya silsila banana hai
ye kar-e-be-samran mujhse hone wala nahin
