khaDa tha kab se zamin piTh par uThae hue

yun be-kar na baiTho din bhar yun paiham aansu na bahao

dawa to kiya husn-e-jahan-soz ka sab ne

apne mahaul se the qais ke rishte kya kya

bazm-e-insan mein bhi ek raat basar kar dekho

sans lena bhi saza lagta hai

ek mohabbat ke ewaz arz-o-sama de dunga

kahin wo meri mohabbat mein ghul raha hi na ho

hum din ke payami hain magar kushta-e-shab hain

shuur mein kabhi ehsas mein basaun use

yun to pahne hue pairahan-e-Khaar aata hun

hum kabhi ishq ko wahshat nahin banne dete

mudawa habs ka hone laga aahista aahista

qarar-e-jaan bhi tumhi iztirab-e-jaan bhi tumhi

lab-e-KHamosh se ifsha hoga
