shab-o-roz raqs-e-visal tha so nahin raha
wo muntazir hain hamare to hum kisi ke hain
kisi ki chashm-e-gurezan mein jal bujhe hum log
nazzara-e-jamal ne sone nahin diya
jo sahifon mein likhi hai wo qayamat ho jae
nind aankhon mein musalsal nahin hone deta
safar mein rasta badalne ke fan se waqif hai
ki shikayat na koi shikwa-e-bedad kiya
kaun kahan tak ja sakta hai
junun-e-ishq mein sad-chaak hona paDta hai
koi jadu na fasana na fusun hai yun hai
ye soch kar na phir kabhi tujhko pukara dost
dil ko rah rah ke ye andeshe Darane lag jaen
masrufiyat usi ki hai fursat usi ki hai
teri gali ko chhoD ke jaana to hai nahin
