ghar ki dahliz se bazar mein mat aa jaana

aankhon se ayan zaKHm ki gahrai to ab hai

aane wali thi KHizan maidan Khaali kar diya

shahr-e-hawa mein jalte rahna andeshon ki chaukhaT par

kisi ko humse hain chand shikwe kisi ko behad shikayaten hain

tilism-zar-e-shab-e-mah mein guzar jae

bhiD hai bar-sar-e-bazar kahin aur chalen

wo pahli jaisi wahshaten wo haal hi nahin raha

tumhein KHayal-e-zat hai shuur-e-zat hi nahin

tere jaisa mera bhi haal tha na sukun tha na qarar tha

phul the rang the lamhon ki sabahat hum the

kabhi tu ne KHud bhi socha ki ye pyas hai to kyun hai

ye hasin log hain tu inki murawwat pe na ja

mujhse muKHlis tha na waqif mere jazbaat se tha

kaha din ko bhi ye ghar kis liye viran rahta hai
