aansuon mein alam ka rang na tha

dil ki har aarzu hai KHwabida

kitni hangama-KHu tamannaen

jawani ke zamane yaad aae

ai dost na puchh mujhse kya hai

ye hawaen to muafiq thin bahut

na jaane kaT gaya kis be-KHudi ke aalam mein

tamanna kuchh to le aati hai lab par

aaj kuchh muzmahil si yaadon ke

puchhta kya hai ham-nashin mujhse

tere firaq mein zahrab-e-gham piye jaun

ishq ki ibtida hai soz-e-darun

jo safar bhi tha zindagani ka

uThate hain maze jaur-o-sitam ke

ilm ke the bahut hijab magar
