tamam umr akele mein tujhse baaten kin

palaT kar ashk su-e-chashm-e-tar aata nahin hai

jo tamam umr raha sabab ki talash mein

tu mujhe bante bigaDte hue ab ghaur se dekh

mere is awwalin ashk-e-mohabbat par nazar kar

is etiraf se ras ghul raha hai kanon mein

ye daur wo hai ki baiThe raho charagh-tale

aasan to nahin apni hasti se guzar jaana

hain meri rah ka patthar meri aankhon ka hijab

nusKHa-e-marham-e-iksir batane wale
