wahan maqam to rone ka tha magar ai dost

saf-o-shaffaf thi pani ki tarah niyyat-e-dil

rahta nahin hun bojh kisi par ziyaada der

ek dur ke safar pe rawana bhi hun zafar

kirdar usko DhunDte phirte hain ja-ba-ja

bujha nahin mere andar ka aaftab abhi

baat mujh mein bhi kuchh is tarah ki hogi jo yahan

ye zindagi ki aaKHiri shab hi na ho kahin

aaba to zafar nahin the aise

suna hai wo mere bare mein sochta hai bahut

ye haal hai to badan ko bachaiye kab tak

safar pichhe ki jaanib hai qadam aage hai mera

ye shahr zinda hai lekin har ek lafz ki lash

yun bhi hota hai ki yak dam koi achchha lag jae

lagata phir raha hun aashiqon par kufr ke fatwe
