mohabbat ka sila-kar-e-mohabbat se nahin milta

ayyam sirf sham-o-sahar ho ke rah gae

ghar banane mein tamam ahl-e-safar lag gae hain

din ne itna jo marizana bana rakkha hai

jism ke par wo diya sa hai

KHud se inkar ko ham-zad kiya hai maine

charagh-e-shahr se sham-e-dil-e-sahra jalana

hamein jab apna taaruf karana paDta hai

wo mahfilen purani afsana ho rahi hain

asir-e-KHak bhi hun KHak se riha bhi hun main

ba-maniyon se bach ke mohmal ki rah pakDi

umr be-wajh guzare bhi nahin ja sakte

ye sare KHubsurat jism abhi mar jaane wale hain

pahle qabristan aata hai phir apni basti aati hai

jism jab mahw-e-suKHan hon shab-e-KHamoshi se
