ye jo phulon se bhara shahr hua karta tha

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

ghazal faza bhi DhunDti hai apne KHas rang ki

guftugu der se jari hai natije ke baghair

talluqat mein gahraiyan to achchhi hain

jo meri shabon ke charagh the jo meri umid ke bagh the

ye barson ka talluq toD dena chahte hain hum

pahle gham-e-furqat ke ye tewar to nahin the

diye munDer pa rakh aate hain hum har sham na jaane kyun

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

ajab nasha hai tere qurb mein ki ji chahe

makinon ke talluq hi se yaad aati hai har basti

hum tere KHwabon ki jannat se nikal kar aa gae

barson baad hamein dekha to pahron usne baat na ki

talluq kirchiyon ki shakl mein bikhra to hai phir bhi
