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

raat bhi nind bhi kahani bhi

zindagi dard ki kahani hai

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

ye to nahin ki gham nahin

wo chup-chap aansu bahane ki raaten

samajhta hun ki tu mujhse juda hai

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

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

tumhein kyunkar bataen zindagi ko kya samajhte hain

kami na ki tere wahshi ne KHak uDane mein

firaq ek nai surat nikal to sakti hai

apne gham ka mujhe kahan gham hai

didar mein ek turfa didar nazar aaya

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

ruki ruki si shab-e-marg KHatm par aai

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

waqt-e-ghurub aaj karamat ho gai

bastiyan DhunDh rahi hain unhen viranon mein

nigah-e-naz ne parde uThae hain kya kya

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

mujhko mara hai har ek dard o dawa se pahle

chhalak ke kam na ho aisi koi sharab nahin

kuchh na kuchh ishq ki tasir ka iqrar to hai

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

zamin badli falak badla mazaq-e-zindagi badla

hath aae to wahi daman-e-jaanan ho jae

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

tez ehsas-e-KHudi darkar hai

tum ho jahan ke shayad main bhi wahan raha hun

dete hain jam-e-shahadat mujhe malum na tha

maut ek git raat gati thi

ye nikhaton ki narm-rawi ye hawa ye raat

ye narm narm hawa jhilmila rahe hain charagh

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

ras mein Duba hua lahraata badan kya kahna

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

chheD ai dil ye kisi shoKH ke ruKHsaron se

hai abhi mahtab baqi aur baqi hai sharab

junun-e-kargar hai aur main hun

ye surmai fazaon ki kunmunahaTen

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

jin ki zindagi daman tak hai bechaare farzane hain
