ab tak to kami kuchh na hui dagh-e-jigar mein
dil-e-sozan-e-ashiq maKHzan-e-rang-e-wafa hoga
hath se dil ro ke khona yaad hai
pyasi thi ye KHud mere lahu ki
gardish mein aaina ho na kyun rozgar ka
aag jab zaKHm-e-jigar be-intiha dene lage
hai rang-e-hina jin mein wahi hath dikha de
shab-e-firaq mein ye dil se guftugu kya hai
kaha jo usne ki kahiye to kuchh gila kya hai
jhuTi tasalliyon pe shab-e-gham basar hui
zindagi ka maza nahin milta
mujhko jine se faeda bhi nahin
thi chaal hashr mein bhi qayamat huzur ki
kabhi andhere se ghabrae raushni se kabhi
hai yaad josh ye jis waqt ashk-bari thi
