wo ghir ke aaya ghaTaon ki tirgi ki tarah

andhere din ki safarat ko aae hain ab ke

puchho mujhe ai ham-nafasan kaun hun kya hun

hasil-e-zist ishq hi to nahin

galiyan jhakin saDken chhanin dil ki wahshat kam na hui

hazar shukr kabhi tera aasra na gaya

hai dukan-e-shauq bhari hui koi mehrban ho to le ke aa

zaban ko zaiqa-e-sher-e-tar nahin milta

soe huon mein KHwab se bedar kaun hai

kam-zarf bhi hai pi ke bahakta bhi bahut hai

lafz jab koi na hath aaya maani ke liye

un se wo rasm-e-mulaqat chali jati hai

sar se junun-e-ishq ka sauda nikaliye

baqar nishan-e-gham-o-ranj-o-alam to ho

hum raaz-e-giraftari-e-dil jaan gae hain
