yahan ke rang baDe dil-pazir hue hain

kaise afsun the wahan kaise fasane the udhar

qissa-e-KHwab hun hasil nahin koi mera

wahi junun ki soKHta-jaani wahi fusun afsanon ka

meri tanhai ke ejaz mein shamil hai wahi

KHaksari thi ki bin dekhe hi hum KHak hue

guzarte waqt ko buniyaad karne wala hun

ji rahe hain aafiyat mein to hunar KHwabon ka hai

tabish ye bhala kaun si rut aai hai jaani

pyas baDhti hui ta-hadd-e-nazar pani tha

bazm Khaali nahin mehman nikal aate hain

mujhko na-karda gunah ka motarif hona paDa

hayat-e-soKHta-saman ek istiara-e-sham

aawara bhaTakta raha paigham kisi ka

ghani siyah zulf badliyon si bila sabab mujh mein jagti hai
