mil hi jaega kabhi dil ko yaqin rahta hai

ye tanha raat ye gahri fazaen

tum aae ho tumhein bhi aazma kar dekh leta hun

ab wo galiyan wo makan yaad nahin

bahut ruk ruk ke chalti hai hawa Khaali makanon mein

pata ab tak nahin badla hamara

tham gaya dard ujala hua tanhai mein

kis shai pe yahan waqt ka saya nahin hota

ye kahna to nahin kafi ki bas pyare lage hum ko

ishq mein kaun bata sakta hai

aaj ro kar to dikhae koi aisa rona

lubhata hai agarche husn-e-dariya Dar raha hun main

kaise unhen bhulaun mohabbat jinhon ne ki

dilon ki or dhuan sa dikhai deta hai

dil mein wo shor na aankhon mein wo nam rahta hai

KHair auron ne bhi chaha to hai tujh sa hona

har lamha zulmaton ki KHudai ka waqt hai

mil hi aate hain use aisa bhi kya ho jaega

zindagi se ek din mausam KHafa ho jaenge

chand is ghar ke darichon ke barabar aaya

in mausamon mein nachte gate rahenge hum

shabnam ko ret phul ko kanTa bana diya

pani mein aks aur kisi aasman ka hai

duniya mein suragh-e-rah-e-duniya nahin milta

sham hoti hai to yaad aati hai sari baaten

bahta aansu ek jhalak mein kitne rup dikhaega

chhaT gaya abr shafaq khul gai tare nikle

chand bhi nikla sitare bhi barabar nikle

hath se napta hun dard ki gahrai ko

kahan ki gunj dil-e-na-tawan mein rahti hai

sham-e-gham yaad hai kab shama jali yaad nahin

kahun kis se raat ka majra nae manzaron pe nigah thi

ye kaun KHwab mein chhu kar chala gaya mere lab

kahin ummid si hai dil ke nihan KHane mein

KHwab ke phulon ki tabiren kahani ho gain

bhule-bisre mausamon ke darmiyan rahta hun main

ab manzil-e-sada se safar kar rahe hain hum

manzar-e-subh dikhane use laya na gaya

ek phul mere pas tha ek shama mere sath thi

hamein sab ahl-e-hawas na-pasand rakhte hain

ashk daman mein bhare KHwab kamar par rakkha

nala-e-KHunin se raushan dard ki raaten karo

raushni rahti thi dil mein zaKHm jab tak taza tha

ajab nahin kabhi naghma bane fughan meri

chhin gai teri tamanna bhi tamannai se

kis jhuTpuTe ke rang ujalon mein aa gae

khaDe hain dil mein jo barg-o-samar lagae hue

tha mujhse ham-kalam magar dekhne mein tha

ab na bahal sakega dil ab na diye jalaiye

KHun-e-dil se kisht-e-gham ko sinchta rahta hun main
