naya mai-kade mein nizam aa gaya

hujum-e-aish-o-tarab mein bhi hai bashar tanha

din o dil pahli hi manzil mein yahan kaam aae

shikwe hum apni zaban par kabhi lae to nahin

hai KHamosh aansuon mein bhi nashat-e-kaamrani

rah-e-ulfat mein mile aise bhi diwane mujhe

tere halke se tabassum ka ishaara bhi to ho

jo maqsad girya-e-paiham ka hai wo hum samajhte hain

aisi tanhai hai apne se bhi ghabraata hun main

ek aah-e-zer-e-lab ke gunahgar ho gae

uf wo ek harf-e-tamanna jo hamare dil mein tha

dabi aawaz mein karti thi kal shikwe zamin mujhse

aankhon mein ashk bhar ke mujhse nazar mila ke

nind aa gai thi manzil-e-irfan se guzar ke

gulon ki chah mein tauhin-e-barg-o-bar na kar
