dekh aa kar ki tere hijr mein bhi zinda hain
ab ye samjhe ki andhera bhi zaruri shai hai
ruk gaya aa ke jahan qafila-e-rang-o-nashat
meri kahani raqam hui hai hawa ke auraq-e-muntashir par
wo dard hun koi chaara nahin hai jis ka kahin
aa gaya kaun ye aaj uske muqabil aslam
be-rang na wapas kar ek sang hi de sar ko
main ek ret ka paikar tha aur bikhar bhi gaya
mere shauq-e-sair-o-safar ko ab nae ek jahan ki numud kar
tamam umr jise main ubur kar na saka
guzarte ja rahe hain qafile tu hi zara ruk ja
raat aati hai to taqon mein jalate hain charagh
kahan bhaTakti phiregi andheri galiyon mein
KHata ye thi ki main aasaniyon ka talib tha
tere kuche ki hawa puchhe hai ab humse
