zulmat aisi ki sujhai nahin deta kuchh bhi
azab hum pe jo nazil hua KHuda se na tha
har aas toD ke jab hum subuk saba se hue
kya kya hui hai baat ki tahqir dekhiye
ghariq-e-jalwa kisi jalwa-gar ko kya dekhe
kaun maslub hua husn ka kirdar ki hum
muskura den to koi KHair-KHabar aa jae
jalwa-e-sham hai ye subh ka manzar to nahin
kis tabahi ke ye aasar nazar aate hain
dosti ki justuju hai shahr mein
hai sach to ye ki mohabbat ka haq ada na hua
sab ki zaban pe zikr teri tund-KHu ka tha
haqiqaton ka bhi irfan ho soz-e-jaan bhi rahe
kuchh dinon se ye hui baat nai
zaban kaTi so kaTi bahs muKHtasar to hui
