tark-e-talluq kar to chuke hain ek imkan abhi baqi hai

jo KHayal the na qayas the wahi log mujhse bichhaD gae

dhaDkan dhaDkan yaadon ki baraat akela kamra

meri ruh mein jo utar saken wo mohabbaten mujhe chahiyen

kisi ne dil ke taq par jala ke rakh diya hamein

band dariche suni galiyan an-dekhe anjaane log

DhunDte kya ho in aankhon mein kahani meri

mujhe wo kunj-e-tanhai se aaKHir kab nikalega

phir wahi lambi do-pahren-surmai hain phir wahi dil ki haalat hai

chhoTe chhoTe se mafadat liye phirte hain

mujhe aisa lutf ata kiya ki jo hijr tha na visal tha

phulon mein wo KHushbu wo sabahat nahin aai

na guman maut ka hai na KHayal zindagi ka

muhtaj ham-safar ki masafat na thi meri

ye Thik hai ki bahut wahshaten bhi Thik nahin
