dekh kar us hasin paikar ko

rang-dar-rang hijabaat uThane honge

yahi hai daur-e-gham-e-ashiqi to kya hoga

nashshe mein jo hai kohna sharabon se ziyaada

is auj par na uchhaalo mujhe hawa kar ke

kuchh nahin garche teri rahguzar se aage

apne hi sae mein tha mein shayad chhupa hua

yaad aaenge zamane ko misalon ke liye

hawas luT liye shorish-e-tamanna ne

masih-e-waqt sahi hum ko us se kya lena

do ghaDi baiThe the zulf-e-ambarin ki chhanw mein

dekha tujhe to aankhon ne aiwan saja liye

yun lagta hai jaise hum dariya ke ruKH par rahte hain

main shoala-e-izhaar hun kotah hun qad tak

teri KHatir ye fusun humne jaga rakkha hai
