dur the hosh-o-hawas apne se bhi begana tha

husn se sharh hui ishq ke afsane ki

wo kya likhta jise inkar karte bhi hijab aaya

nazar us chashm pe hai jam liye baiTha hun

taskin-e-dil ka ye kya qarina

nale majburon ke Khaali nahin jaane wale

wada sachcha hai ki jhuTa mujhe malum na tha

taDapte dil ko na le iztirab leta ja

hum aaj khaenge ek tir imtihan ke liye

na kar talash-e-asar tir hai laga na laga

dam-ba-KHud baiTh ke KHud jaise zaban gili hai

ye dastan-e-dil hai kya ho ada zaban se

kahin sar paTakte diwane kahin par jhulaste parwane

talash-e-rang mein aawara misl-e-bu hun main

dil mukaddar hai aaina-ru ka
