jab se jaana hai gham-e-zist se hasil kya hai
zamin din-raat jal rahi hai
jab usko soch ke dekha to ye kamal hua
ahbab hain kyun dang mujhe hi nahin malum
sara-e-shar mein rahna paD raha hai
aag kya sard hui barf ko pani kar ke
tujhe hai shauq-e-zaban par jo qand rakhne ka
gale pe ek KHanjar aab-dar kis ka hai
purana qissa tamam karna paDega usko
dil jo hansta hai to rone ka guman hota hai
jo log dida-o-dil ko tabah dekhte hain
dasht ne talib-e-gulzar kiya hai mujhko
libas-e-chaak mein aiwan ke aage nahin jati
ranj ek talKH haqiqat ka faqat hai mujhko
rah-e-safar mein gard kabhi hai kabhi nahin
