is raat kisi aur qalam-rau mein kahin tha

meri nigah kisi zawiye pe Thahre bhi

agar kuchh bhi mere ghar se dam-e-ruKHsat nikalta hai

ba-nam-e-ishq yahi ek kaam karte hain

hawa mein aae to lau bhi na sath li humne

mujhe zindagi se KHiraj hi nahin mil raha

sari tartib-e-zamani meri dekhi hui hai

ye KHayal tha kabhi KHwab mein tujhe dekhte

ajib dard ka rishta tha sab ke sab roe

dar-o-bast-e-anasir para para hone wala hai

aisi taqsim ki surat nikal aai ghar mein

hawa ka hukm bhi ab ke nazar mein rakkha jae

wo KHud gaya hai us ka asar to nahin gaya

phir is se qabl ki bar-e-digar banaya jae

tujhko is tarah kahan chhoD ke jaana tha hamein
