is tarah chashm-e-nim-wa ghafil bhi thi bedar bhi
ek chand hai aawara-o-betab o falak-tab
kahin pe dast-e-nigarin kahin lab-e-lalin
ajab nahin ki ho diwar nuqta-e-mauhum
main dekhta hun faraaz-e-junun se duniya ko
lazzat-e-did KHuda jaane kahan le jae
hawa ka tabsira ye sakinan-e-shahr pe tha
kahin bhi tair-e-awara ho magar tai hai
halqa-e-sham-o-sahar se nahin jaane wala
kisi se ishq ho jaane ko afsana nahin kahte
jise na-KHwab kahte hain usi ko KHwab kahte hain
hai ta-hadd-e-imkan koi basti na bayaban
main par-shikasta na tha baadalon ke bich magar
ek KHala hai jo pur nahin hota
hai irtibaat-shikan daeron mein baT jaana
