ahl-e-mohabbat ki majburi baDhti jati hai

sab chehron par ek hi rang aur sab aankhon mein ek hi KHwab

KHauf ke sail-e-musalsal se nikale mujhe koi

kahin se koi harf-e-motabar shayad na aae

mansab na kulah chahta hun

mulk-e-suKHan mein dard ki daulat ko kya hua

mera malik jab taufiq arzani karta hai

thakan to agle safar ke liye bahana tha

suKHan-e-haq ko fazilat nahin milne wali

koi junun koi sauda na sar mein rakkha jae

shikasta-par junun ko aazmaenge nahin kya

hami bhi na the munkir-e-ghaalib bhi nahin the

KHalq ne ek manzar nahin dekha bahut dinon se

rawish mein gardish-e-sayyargan se achchhi hai

hijr ki dhup mein chhanw jaisi baaten karte hain
