ai shauq-e-dil bhi ek muamma ajib hai
jalta raha charagh yaqin-o-guman ka
jis shaKHs ko dekho wahi sargarm-e-safar hai
sochta hun yahan kis se hai shanasai meri
chandni jis ki dar-e-jaan pe hum aksar dekhen
siyah-raat pasheman hai ham-rakabi se
meri hayat ke sahra mein chhanw jaisa tha
kya kahin kya ye jahan-e-guzaran lagta hai
kam-nigahi bhi hai KHamoshi bhi ruposhi bhi
ek umr se jis ko liye phirta hun nazar mein
ab chand nahin koi sitara nahin koi
mausam to badalta hai badal jae to kya ho
kya din the gulabon se shanasai thi apni
sine mein dil jo dard ka mara nahin mila
kya kahiye rah-e-shauq ko kis tarah sar kiya
