ghairon ki shikasta haalat par hansna to hamara shewa tha
ishq hai ji ka ziyan ishq mein rakkha kya hai
qatra na ho to bahr na aae wajud mein
ek sham-e-arzu ki haqiqat hi kya magar
wo sadgi mein bhi hai ajab dilkashi liye
usi ko dasht-e-KHizan ne kiya bahut pamal
udasiyan hain jo din mein to shab mein tanhai
teri talash mein nikle to itni dur gae
ajab bahaar dikhai lahu ke chhinTon ne
ruki ruki si hai barsat KHushk hai sawan
kabhi is rah se guzre wo shayad
dekha nahin wo chand sa chehra kai din se
dur sahil se koi shoKH ishaara bhi nahin
kaliyon mein tazgi hai na phulon mein bas hai
gham de gaya nashat-e-shanasai le gaya
