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

zindagi dard ki kahani hai

narm faza ki karwaTen dil ko dukha ke rah gain

aai hai kuchh na puchh qayamat kahan kahan

raat bhi nind bhi kahani bhi

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

wo chup-chap aansu bahane ki raaten

samajhta hun ki tu mujhse juda hai

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

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

kami na ki tere wahshi ne KHak uDane mein

didar mein ek turfa didar nazar aaya

waqt-e-ghurub aaj karamat ho gai

firaq ek nai surat nikal to sakti hai

tumhein kyunkar bataen zindagi ko kya samajhte hain

apne gham ka mujhe kahan gham hai

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

ye to nahin ki gham nahin

tez ehsas-e-KHudi darkar hai

kuchh na kuchh ishq ki tasir ka iqrar to hai

mujhko mara hai har ek dard o dawa se pahle

hath aae to wahi daman-e-jaanan ho jae

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

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

chhalak ke kam na ho aisi koi sharab nahin

ruki ruki si shab-e-marg KHatm par aai

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

dete hain jam-e-shahadat mujhe malum na tha

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

ek roz hue the kuchh ishaaraat KHafi se

junun-e-kargar hai aur main hun

ras mein Duba hua lahraata badan kya kahna

ye narm narm hawa jhilmila rahe hain charagh

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

ye surmai fazaon ki kunmunahaTen

ye nikhaton ki narm-rawi ye hawa ye raat

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

har nala tere dard se ab aur hi kuchh hai

bahsen chhiDi hui hain hayat-o-mamat ki

gham tera jalwa-gah-e-kaun-o-makan hai ki jo tha

chheD ai dil ye kisi shoKH ke ruKHsaron se
