chalne ka hausla nahin rukna muhaal kar diya

kuchh to hawa bhi sard thi kuchh tha tera KHayal bhi

ku-ba-ku phail gai baat shanasai ki

wo to KHush-bu hai hawaon mein bikhar jaega

aks-e-KHushbu hun bikharne se na roke koi

ab bhala chhoD ke ghar kya karte

bahut roya wo hum ko yaad kar ke

kamal-e-zabt ko KHud bhi to aazmaungi

pura dukh aur aadha chand

apni ruswai tere nam ka charcha dekhun

baadban khulne se pahle ka ishaara dekhna

ab itni sadgi laen kahan se

gae mausam mein jo khilte the gulabon ki tarah

bichhDa hai jo ek bar to milte nahin dekha

apni tanhai mere nam pe aabaad kare

dhanak dhanak meri poron ke KHwab kar dega

teri KHushbu ka pata karti hai

agarche tujhse bahut iKHtilaf bhi na hua

baKHt se koi shikayat hai na aflak se hai

ek hunar tha kamal tha kya tha

TuTi hai meri nind magar tumko is se kya

shauq-e-raqs se jab tak ungliyan nahin khultin

rasta bhi kaThin dhup mein shiddat bhi bahut thi

pa-ba-gil sab hain rihai ki kare tadbir kaun

Dasne lage hain KHwab magar kis se boliye

barish hui to phulon ke tan chaak ho gae

humne hi lauTne ka irada nahin kiya

qaid mein guzregi jo umr baDe kaam ki thi

shab wahi lekin sitara aur hai

dil ka kya hai wo to chahega musalsal milna

khuli aankhon mein sapna jhankta hai

justuju khoe huon ki umr bhar karte rahe

gulab hath mein ho aankh mein sitara ho

ashk aankh mein phir aTak raha hai

dua ka TuTa hua harf sard aah mein hai

harf-e-taza nai KHushbu mein likha chahta hai

charagh-e-rah bujha kya ki rahnuma bhi gaya

kuchh faisla to ho ki kidhar jaana chahiye

chaarasazon ki aziyyat nahin dekhi jati

tera ghar aur mera jangal bhigta hai sath sath

wo hum nahin jinhen sahna ye jabr aa jata

ek suraj tha ki taron ke gharane se uTha

baja ki aankh mein nindon ke silsile bhi nahin

kya kare meri masihai bhi karne wala

apni hi sada sunun kahan tak

waqt-e-ruKHsat aa gaya dil phir bhi ghabraya nahin

tarash kar mere bazu uDan chhoD gaya

gawahi kaise TuTti muamla KHuda ka tha

qadmon mein bhi takan thi ghar bhi qarib tha

mushkil hai ki ab shahr mein nikle koi ghar se
