aaghosh-e-sitam mein hi chhupa le koi aa kar

talluq apni jagah tujhse barqarar bhi hai

usi ek fard ke waste mere dil mein dard hai kis liye

jo diya tu ne hamein wo surat-e-zar rakh liya

aaya hun sang o KHisht ke ambar dekh kar

dil ajab gumbad ki jis mein ek kabutar bhi nahin

sar-e-sahra musafir ko sitara yaad rahta hai

aankhon mein aansuon ko ubharne nahin diya

chal diya wo dekh kar pahlu meri taqsir ka

raKHt-e-safar yunhi to na bekar le chalo

aisa bhi nahin us se mila de koi aa kar

mufahamat na sikha jabr-e-narawa se mujhe

kuchh hijr ke mausam ne sataya nahin itna

kis hawale se mujhe kis ka pata yaad aaya

fasle aise bhi honge ye kabhi socha na tha
