tera hi nishan-e-pa raha hun main

main KHud se dur tha aur mujhse dur tha wo bhi

KHwabon ki kirchiyan meri muTThi mein bhar na jae

mujhse be-zaro na yun sang se maro mujhko

aane wala to har ek lamha guzar jata hai

bahut din se tumhein dekha nahin tha

wo jo sarf-e-nigah karta hai

kisa-e-darwesh mein jo bhi hai zar utna hi hai

kuchh aur din abhi us ja qayam karna tha

qalb-gah mein zara zara sa kuchh

ek sukhi haDDiyon ka is taraf ambar tha

andhera mere baatin mein paDa tha

wo mere nale ka shor hi tha shab-e-siyah ki nihayaton mein

wo tawanai kahan jo kal talak aaza mein thi

kaun guzra tha mehrab-e-jaan se abhi KHamushi shor bharta hua
