ajib KHwahish hai shahr walon se chhup chhupa kar kitab likkhun

ab ye baat mani hai

har zarra-e-ummid se KHushbu nikal aae

har jaanib virani bhi ho sakti hai

dil ki manzil us taraf hai ghar ka rasta is taraf

dushman-e-jaan kai qabile hue

tujhse ab aur mohabbat nahin ki ja sakti

band hoti kitabon mein uDti hui titliyan Dal din

wo baat baat mein itna badalta jata hai

hijr ki shab mein qaid kare ya subh-e-visal mein rakkhe

ye nam mumkin nahin rahega maqam mumkin nahin rahega

kisi harf mein kisi bab mein nahin aaega

ab kis se kahen aur kaun sune jo haal tumhaare baad hua

ye dil bhulata nahin hai mohabbaten uski

ishq karo to ye bhi socho arz-e-sawal se pahle
