waise hi KHayal aa gaya hai

zaban ko hukm nigah-e-karam ko pahchane

ghar ka rasta bhi mila tha shayad

wo lamha ki KHamoshi-e-shab naghma-sara thi

wahi na-saburi-e-arzu wahi naqsh-e-pa wahi jada hai

aankhon mein rup subh ki pahli kiran sa hai

ek aaina ru-ba-ru hai abhi

kanTa sa jo chubha tha wo lau de gaya hai kya

jab dil ki rahguzar pe tera naqsh-e-pa na tha

har ek daricha kiran kiran hai jahan se guzre jidhar gae hain

aage harim-e-gham se koi rasta na tha

roz-o-shab ki koi surat to bana kar rakhkhun

achanak dilruba mausam ka dil-azar ho jaana

na baam-o-dasht na dariya na kohsar mile

KHud hijabon sa KHud jamal sa tha
