dikhati hai jo ye duniya wo baiTha dekhta hun main

pyas har zarra-e-sahra ki bujhai gai hai

kya kahun kitna fuzun hai tere diwane ka dukh

be-aman hun in dinon main dar-ba-dar phirta hun main

kahan kahan se sunaun tumhein fasana-e-shab

kisht-e-ehsas mein thoDa sa mila lenge tujhe

nit-nae naqsh se baatin ko sajata hua main

bas ki ek lams ki ummid pe ware hue hain

palaT kar dekhne ka mujh mein yara hi nahin tha

fana hua to main tar-e-nafas mein lauT aaya

iztirab aisa hua dil ka sahaara mujhko

do-chaar sitare hi meri aankh mein dhar ja

kya kahun kitni aziyyat se nikali gai shab

ye KHaki pairahan ek ism ki bandish mein rahta hai

juDe hue hain pari-KHane mere kaghaz se
