sochi thi jo wo jurm-o-saza tak pahunch gai

main jin bulandiyon pe tha jin se gira bhi tha

kaise aa pahunchi hai gulshan ki hawa zindan mein

hai aarzu ki aur to kya KHud KHuda na ho

har shai lamhe ki mehman hai kya gul kya KHushbu

thi kabhi ab magar wo chah nahin

jaras-e-dil ki sada ban ke chale

bolti aankhen dekhin jagte lab dekhen

baam par aao kabhi mah-e-daraKHshan ki tarah

wo wasl ki lazzat mein gum hai wo soz-e-judai kya jaane

payab mauj uTThi to sar se guzar gai

meri ghazal mein thin uski nazakaten sari

sar pe suraj hai kahin saya-e-diwar nahin

us bahr mein Dub kyun na jaun

kuchh raaz hain aise jo KHabar tak nahin pahunche
