kaTi pahaD si shab intizar karte hue
koi mausam ho kuchh bhi ho safar karna hi paDta hai
aisa nahin ki munh mein hamare zaban nahin
wo Khaali hath safar-e-ab par rawana hua
abas hi mahw-e-shab-o-roz wo dua mein tha
go is safar mein thak ke badan chur ho gaya
yun musallat to dhuan jism ke andar tak hai
ab ke junun hua to gareban ko phaD kar
use samjha-bujha ke hum to haare
rah-e-gum-karda sar-e-manzil bhaTak kar aa gaya
dil ki ye aag bujha di kis ne
is raaz ke baatin tak pahuncha hi nahin koi
jaane kya aisa use mujh mein nazar aaya tha
kisi bahane bhi dil se alam nahin jata
masala ye hai ki uske dil mein ghar kaise karen
