tu mila tha aur mere haal par roya bhi tha
tū milā thā aur mere haal par royā bhī thā
mere siine meñ kabhī ik iztirāb aisā bhī thā
jis tarah dil āshnā thā shahr ke ādāb se
kuchh usī andāz se shā.ista-e-sahrā bhī thā
zindagī tanhā na thī ai ishq terī raah meñ
dhuup thī sahrā thā aur ik mehrbāñ saayā bhī thā
ishq ke sahrā-nashīnoñ se mulāqāteñ bhī thiiñ
husn ke shahr-e-nigārāñ meñ bahut charchā bhī thā
hijr ke shab-zinda-dāroñ se shanāsā.ī bhī thī
vasl kī lazzat meñ gum logoñ se ik naatā bhī thā
har fasurda aañkh se mānūs thī apnī nazar
dukh bhare sīnoñ se ham-rishta mirā siina bhī thā
thak bhī jaate the agar sahrā-navardī se to kyā
muttasil sahrā ke ik vajd-āfrīñ dariyā bhī thā
tu mila tha aur mere haal par roya bhi tha
mere sine mein kabhi ek iztirab aisa bhi tha
jis tarah dil aashna tha shahr ke aadab se
kuchh usi andaz se shaista-e-sahra bhi tha
zindagi tanha na thi ai ishq teri rah mein
dhup thi sahra tha aur ek mehrban saya bhi tha
ishq ke sahra-nashinon se mulaqaten bhi thin
husn ke shahr-e-nigaran mein bahut charcha bhi tha
hijr ke shab-zinda-daron se shanasai bhi thi
wasl ki lazzat mein gum logon se ek nata bhi tha
har fasurda aankh se manus thi apni nazar
dukh bhare sinon se ham-rishta mera sina bhi tha
thak bhi jate the agar sahra-nawardi se to kya
muttasil sahra ke ek wajd-afrin dariya bhi tha
