main jinko DhunDne nikla tha gahre ghaaron mein
maiñ jin ko DhūñDne niklā thā gahre ġhāroñ meñ
pata chalā ki vo rahte haiñ ab sitāroñ meñ
parakh rahā hai mujhe jo vo is ḳhayāl kā hai
hamesha jhuuT nahīñ hotā ishtihāroñ meñ
unheñ yaqīn thā duniyā kī umr lambī hai
jo log peḌ lagāte the rahguzāroñ meñ
maiñ ḳhud ko dekhūñ agar dūsre kī āñkhoñ se
mileñgī ḳhāmiyāñ apne hī shah-kāroñ meñ
tumhārī ḳhushbū ko mujh se kahīñ ye chhīn na le
havā jo rahtī hai dīvār kī darāroñ meñ
ḳhudā kā shukr ki maiñ us se thoḌī duur rahā
safed saañp thā geñde ke piile hāroñ meñ
nashīlī raat kā nashsha kuchh aur baḌh jaatā
tirā nazārā bhī hotā agar nazāroñ meñ
zabāñ pe aa.ī to apnī miThās kho baiThī
jo baat hotī thī pahle kabhī ishāroñ meñ
main jin ko DhunDne nikla tha gahre ghaaron mein
pata chala ki wo rahte hain ab sitaron mein
parakh raha hai mujhe jo wo is KHayal ka hai
hamesha jhuT nahin hota ishtihaaron mein
unhen yaqin tha duniya ki umr lambi hai
jo log peD lagate the rahguzaron mein
main KHud ko dekhun agar dusre ki aankhon se
milengi KHamiyan apne hi shah-karon mein
tumhaari KHushbu ko mujh se kahin ye chhin na le
hawa jo rahti hai diwar ki dararon mein
KHuda ka shukr ki main us se thoDi dur raha
safed sanp tha gende ke pile haaron mein
nashili raat ka nashsha kuchh aur baDh jata
tera nazara bhi hota agar nazaron mein
zaban pe aai to apni miThas kho baiThi
jo baat hoti thi pahle kabhi ishaaron mein
