KHushbuon ka shahr ujDa ghar se be-ghar ho gae

talash phir koi khoi si rahguzar mein thi

bistar par bechain nirasha ke silwaT silwaT jage

kaho farar se bandhe na panw mein aankhen

jab tak talluqat hamare bane rahe

aks-dar-aks aaina taqsim

husn hai is bar pure jalwa-samani ke sath

tere sath chehre hain mere sang aaina

ik-duje ke basi un ko aur basera kya malum

jal gain aankhen sabhi KHush-rang chehre uD gae

bas dekhte hi dekhte sadiyan guzar gain

KHushk aankhon ki kahani dasht dasht apni hi thi

har su mausam nur pe tha jab miladon sat-sangon ka

andheron se agar aaina-samani hui hogi

aahaTen taza muqaddar ki taraf
