safar kaThin hi sahi kya ajab tha sath us ka
safar kaThin hī sahī kyā ajab thā saath us kā
añdherī raat meñ merā diyā thā haath us kā
kuchh aisī niiñd se jaagī ki phir na soī vo aañkh
jalā kiyā yūñhī kājal tamām raat us kā
tamām shab vo sitāroñ se guftugū us kī
tamām shab vo samundar sā iltifāt us kā
kabhī vo rabt ki āñkhoñ meñ jis tarah kājal
kabhī bichhaḌ ke vo milnā ġhazal-sifāt us kā
duā ke haath hī jaise diyā sambhālte haiñ
mohabbatoñ meñ vo uslūb-e-ehtiyāt us kā
maiñ apne ghar ke añdheroñ meñ lauT aayā 'shauq'
pukārtā hī rahā mujh ko shahr-e-zāt us kā
safar kaThin hi sahi kya ajab tha sath us ka
andheri raat mein mera diya tha hath us ka
kuchh aisi nind se jagi ki phir na soi wo aankh
jala kiya yunhi kajal tamam raat us ka
tamam shab wo sitaron se guftugu us ki
tamam shab wo samundar sa iltifat us ka
kabhi wo rabt ki aankhon mein jis tarah kajal
kabhi bichhaD ke wo milna ghazal-sifat us ka
dua ke hath hi jaise diya sambhaalte hain
mohabbaton mein wo uslub-e-ehtiyat us ka
main apne ghar ke andheron mein lauT aaya 'shauq'
pukarta hi raha mujh ko shahr-e-zat us ka
