na ho gar dhyan mein chehra kisi ka
suna suna aangan hai aur baam-o-dar KHamosh
shab guzar kar bhi andhera kam nahin
apne pahlu mein chhupae hue patthar nikla
wo anjuman ho ki maqtal lahu lahu hi rahe
kya ye dekhen ki koi aur tamasha kya hai
wo kam-yaqin jo sawad-e-guman bhi rahta hai
main jab pahle-pahal is shahr-e-na-pursan mein aaya tha
KHayal mein hai jo chehra nazar bhi aaega
har manzil mein har raste mein sach apne kaam aaya hai
bichha hua koi tanhaiyon ka jal na tha
ye kya ki baiTh gae gard-e-rahguzar ki tarah
muhaal tha ki ye tufan-e-rang-o-bu aae
mile hain harf bas itne mujhe bayan ke liye
rah ki dhup se mafar hi nahin
