jise manzil samajh kar ruk gae hum

aaTHwan rang kya diya usne

aankh bhar ke maine ek bar use dekha tha

ye baaton mein narmi ye tahzib-o-adab

shahr wale nazar aate hain mohazzab mujhko

shayad hamare hijr mein lafzon ka hath tha

mujhe malum hai tum gir chuke ho

apni kamar se aap hi bandhe safar tamam

mujhko aKHbar si lagti hain tumhaari baaten

maine lagaya apne gunahon ka jab hisab

main hisar-e-zulmat-e-shab mein hun jo bhaTak raha hun gali gali

deta raha wo galiyan aur main raha KHamosh

tum mere pas jab nahin hote

mahtab haqiqat se aagah karo un ko

mahtab umr-bhar bhi na hoga rafu kabhi
