ye ujala har ek shai ko chamka gaya
simTe to aise shams-o-qamar mein simaT gae
dil si virani mein saya koi mehman to hai
ghamon ne is tarah ghera kabhi nahin hoga
bahut pahunche to un ke kakul-o-ruKHsar tak pahunche
saz bane un ashkon se jo bahte hain tanhai mein
zaban pe KHud-baKHud arz-e-mohabbat aai jati hai
muddaton ye soch kar tanhai mein taDpa kiye
kise bataen mohabbat mein kya kiya maine
dilon ka haal wo be-etibar kya jaane
silsila jab teri baaton ka jawan hota hai
gulshan bhi sajae hain isne ye jhalka hai shamshir mein bhi
ye kya waswase ham-safar ho gae hain
ham-safar raaton ke sae ho gae
lambi thi umr mohabbat ki barbaad hue hote hote
