barabar KHwab se chehron ki hijrat dekhte rahna

kanar-e-ab hawa jab bhi sansanati hai

TuTte jism ke mahtab bikhar ja mujh mein

bigaDte bante daere sawal sochte rahe

faza mein zulf ke jadu agar bikhar jate

aashuftagi phir aaj mana le gai mujhe

usi ne hijraten kuchh aur bhi bitai thin

siyah dard ka ye saeban gir jae

ishq ki aanch mein sundarta ka bhi dhan jalta hai

zara si der jo KHauf-e-dawam KHatm hua

main munharif tha jis se harf-e-inhiraf ki tarah

ziyan hai jaan ka ye karobar mat karna

husain hi tha jo pyasa uTha furaat se wo

jo gaya yahan se isi makan mein aaega

tah-ba-tah dariya ke sab asrar tak wo le gaya
