subhen kaisi aag lagane wali thin

nam hi rah gaya ek anjuman-arai ka

azab ho gai zanjir-e-dast-o-pa mujhko

main ek andhe kuen ka qaidi kise milunga

dil ki lagi rah jaegi

faza mein naghma-e-awaz-e-pa hai mere liye

girna nahin hai aur sambhalna nahin hai ab

tapte sahra mein ye KHushbu sath kahan se aai

ranj-e-giran-e-shauq ka hasil na kah ise

kya koi dard dil ke muqabil nahin raha

chhupa rakkha tha yun KHud ko kamal mera tha

yahan se Dub kar jaana hai mujhko

yun lagta hai sab kuchh khone aaya tha

nigahon se nikal kar jo gae hain
