jab nigah-e-talab moatabar ho gai

KHwab ki basti mein afsane ka ghar

zalzale saKHt aate rahe raat-bhar

khuli jab aankh to dekha ki tha bazar ka halqa

har aan nai shan hai har lamha naya hai

meri nigah ko jalwon ka hausla de do

main pahuncha apni manzil tak magar aahista aahista

apne haalat ka asir hun main

KHun jab ashk mein Dhalta hai ghazal hoti hai

meri aankhon mein aansu pyare

har waraq ek kitab ho jae

muddaa-o-arzu shauq-e-tamanna aap hain

marhala shauq ka hai lafz-o-bayan se aage

kya yahan dekhiye kya wahan dekhiye

subh safar aur sham safar
