bahut pahle se un qadmon ki aahaT jaan lete hain

sar mein sauda bhi nahin dil mein tamanna bhi nahin

sitaron se ulajhta ja raha hun

kisi ka yun to hua kaun umr bhar phir bhi

narm faza ki karwaTen dil ko dukha ke rah gain

zindagi dard ki kahani hai

raat bhi nind bhi kahani bhi

aai hai kuchh na puchh qayamat kahan kahan

kuchh ishaare the jinhen duniya samajh baiThe the hum

aankhon mein jo baat ho gai hai

sham-e-gham kuchh us nigah-e-naz ki baaten karo

samajhta hun ki tu mujhse juda hai

wo chup-chap aansu bahane ki raaten

kami na ki tere wahshi ne KHak uDane mein

ab aksar chup chup se rahen hain yunhi kabhu lab kholen hain

aaj bhi qafila-e-ishq rawan hai ki jo tha

waqt-e-ghurub aaj karamat ho gai

tumhein kyunkar bataen zindagi ko kya samajhte hain

firaq ek nai surat nikal to sakti hai

didar mein ek turfa didar nazar aaya

apne gham ka mujhe kahan gham hai

ye to nahin ki gham nahin

ab daur-e-asman hai na daur-e-hayat hai

zer-o-bam se saz-e-KHilqat ke jahan banta gaya

bastiyan DhunDh rahi hain unhen viranon mein

kuchh na kuchh ishq ki tasir ka iqrar to hai

tez ehsas-e-KHudi darkar hai

hath aae to wahi daman-e-jaanan ho jae

mujhko mara hai har ek dard o dawa se pahle

jaur-o-be-mehri-e-ighmaz pe kya rota hai

nigah-e-naz ne parde uThae hain kya kya

zamin badli falak badla mazaq-e-zindagi badla

ruki ruki si shab-e-marg KHatm par aai

dete hain jam-e-shahadat mujhe malum na tha

koi paigham-e-mohabbat lab-e-ejaz to de

chhalak ke kam na ho aisi koi sharab nahin

hijr-o-visal-e-yar ka parda uTha diya

ek roz hue the kuchh ishaaraat KHafi se

ye nikhaton ki narm-rawi ye hawa ye raat

ras mein Duba hua lahraata badan kya kahna

junun-e-kargar hai aur main hun

dilon ka soz tere ru-e-be-naqab ki aanch

ye narm narm hawa jhilmila rahe hain charagh

jise log kahte hain tirgi wahi shab hijab-e-sahar bhi hai

tur tha kaba tha dil tha jalwa-zar-e-yar tha

ye surmai fazaon ki kunmunahaTen

har nala tere dard se ab aur hi kuchh hai

chheD ai dil ye kisi shoKH ke ruKHsaron se

jahan-e-ghuncha-e-dil ka faqat chaTakna tha

bahsen chhiDi hui hain hayat-o-mamat ki
