nahin chhupta tere itab ka rang

hamare dil mein koi aarzu nahin baqi

khaTakte hain nigah-e-baghban mein

makan milte hain kya la-makan nahin milta

parde parde mein ye kar leti hain rahen kyunkar

parda kis amr ka hai ab is bad-nasib se

yahi hai unki nazakat to haal kya hoga

main uTha rakkhun na kuchh in ke liye

paimane mein wo zahr nahin ghol rahe the

nazar aati hai dur ki surat

jo the hath mehndi lagane ke qabil

jo hum aae to botal kyun alag pir-e-mughan rakh di

chhoDti hi nahin mujhko shab-e-furqat meri

ye jitni der hui shaiKH ko wuzu karte

dil DhunDhti hai nigah kisi ki
