main ek ret ka paikar tha aur bikhar bhi gaya
na malal-e-hijr na muntazir hain hawa-e-sham-e-visal ke
safar se pahle sarabon ka silsila rakh aae
dasht marub hai kitna meri virani se
tu apne shahr-e-tarab se na puchh haal mera
mizha pe KHwab nahin intizar sa kuchh hai
ai mere ghubar-e-sar tu hi to nahin tanha raegan to main bhi hun
pattharon par wadiyon mein naqsh-e-pa mera bhi hai
aks jal jaenge aaine bikhar jaenge
rang sare apne andar raftagan ke hain
raat aati hai to taqon mein jalate hain charagh
sarab-e-mani-o-mafhum mein bhaTakte hain
jal raha hun to ajab rang o saman hai mera
dekh ke arzan lahu surKHi-e-manzar KHamosh
kiya gardishon ke hawale use chaak par rakh diya
