kabhi makan mein kabhi rahguzar mein rahte the

sar-nigun dil ki tarah dast-e-dua ho bhi chuke

charagh-e-bazm teri mansabi hai kitni der

waqt ajib aa gaya mansab-o-jah ke liye

hina ke qaus-e-quzah ke shajar ke kya kya rang

aaKHir suKHan tamam kiya is dua ke sath

qarz kya kya nazar pe nikle hain

purani sham nae aanganon ko roti hai

rasta bhi teri samt tha ghar teri taraf tha

dikha kar aaine mein apna chehra kho gae hain

guzri jo rahguzar mein use darguzar kiya

kaisi hai ajab raat ye kaisa hai ajab shor

mohabbat ek jaisi hai wafaen ek jaisi hain

jo motarif the mere shajra-e-nasab ke sab

aisa kar sakte the kya koi guman tum aur main
