main bujh gaya to kaun ujalega tera rup

kahte hain ki uThne ko hai ab rasm-e-mohabbat

kuchh talluq bhi nahin rasm-e-jahan se aage

kyun baam pe aawazon ka dhammal hai ajmal

yun KHush na ho ai shahr-e-nigaran ke dar o baam

wo mere KHwab chura kar bhi KHush nahin ajmal

zamir o zehn mein ek sard jang jari hai

usi ke honTon ke phul bab-e-qubul chuMein

ye gham mera hai to phir ghair se ilaqa kya

koi sada koi aawaza-e-jaras hi sahi

ajmal safar mein sath rahin yun saubaten

lahu rishton ka ab jamne laga hai

kis se main un ka Thikana puchhta

zinda koi kahan tha ki sadqa utarta

ufuq ke aaKHiri manzar mein jagmagaun main
