zamin chhoD kar main kidhar jaunga

ghum raha tha ek shaKHs raat ke Khaarzar mein

chehre pe chamchamati hui dhup mar gai

ye phailti shikastagi ehsas ki taraf

jalne lage KHala mein hawaon ke naqsh-e-pa

bhul kar bhi na phir malega tu

har KHwab kali raat ke sanche mein Dhaal kar

darwaza band dekh ke mere makan ka

aashiq the shahr mein jo purane sharab ke

haj ka safar hai isMein koi sath bhi to ho

pahlu ke aar-par guzarta hua sa ho

bismil ke taDapne ki adaon mein nasha tha

ek qatra ashk ka chhalka to dariya kar diya

kaun tha wo KHwab ke malbus mein lipTa hua

pani ko patthar kahte hain
