aql kahti hai koi DhunD mafar ki surat

meri nawa meri tadbir tak nahin pahunchi

chhupe hue the jo dil mein wo Dar purane the

zalzalon ne kiya yun shahr ko mismar ki bas

mere wajud ke dozaKH ko sard kar dega

is kaDi dhup ke sannaTe mein hairan hua

raushniyan badan badan tere mere lahu se hain

maut se yari na thi hasti se be-zari na thi

shaKH-e-mizhgan-e-mohabbat pe saja le mujhko

thirakti lau ki bas ek aaKHiri dua sunta

hum bhi zinda hain ajab kawish-e-izhaar ke sath

kis etimad se ilzam dhar gae apne

sahar se ek kiran ki faqat talab thi mujhe

sarishk-e-KHun sar-e-mizhgan kabhi piroe na the

safar mein yaad na aae koi Thikana hamein
