koi dil mein sama gaya hua tha

charagh-e-zaKHm-e-tamanna ki lau baDhae hue

koi ruswai hai na shohrat hai

koi gulab kabhi us ka dil dukhaya tha

dil o nigah mein kuchh is tarah sama gai hai

tere firaq mein jo aankh se rawan hua hai

jab usne nahin dekha jab usko nahin bhai

jab se is shahr-e-be-makan mein hun

aks-e-gul hun ki naqsh-e-hairat hun

suraj ne jab shab ka labaada pahan liya tha

jab aaftab ghar pe bulaya tha sham ne

guman KHak mein sab ke milane wala hai

sham kinare utra main

mere nasib ka hai ya sitara KHwab ka hai

sae ko dhup dhup ko saya bana liya
