ruKHsat hua to aankh mila kar nahin gaya

apni taswir ko aankhon se lagata kya hai

purane doston se ab murawwat chhoD di humne

charagh KHud hi bujhaya bujha ke chhoD diya

wo mere pas hai kya pas bulaun usko

jo shajar sukh gaya hai wo hara kaise ho

na sahi kuchh magar itna to kiya karte the

haal us ka tere chehre pe likha lagta hai

jis ne teri aankhon mein shararat nahin dekhi

ab nibhani hi paDegi dosti jaisi bhi hai

chup ke aalam mein wo taswir si surat uski

fasl-e-gul KHak hui jab to sada di tu ne

main jo rota hun to kahte ho ki aisa na karo

jab uski zulf mein pahla safed baal aaya

jal bhi chuke parwane ho bhi chuki ruswai

ye soch kar ki teri jabin par na bal paDe

aaj tak uski mohabbat ka nasha tari hai

muntazir dasht-e-dil-o-jaan hai ki aahu aae

ab na wo shor na wo shor machane wale

ye bhi sach hai ki nahin hai koi rishta tujhse

sukun kuchh to mila dil ka majra likh kar

waise to ek dusre ki sab sunte hain

dil se ye kah raha hun zara aur dekh le

jo dil mein khaTakti hai kabhi kah bhi sakoge

shahr ka shahr agar aae bhi samjhane ko

dil ka bura nahin magar shaKHs ajib Dhab ka hai

yun KHak ki manind na rahon pe bikhar ja

wo ja chuka hai to kyun be-qarar itne ho

dil-e-fasurda use kyun gale laga na liya

agarche kar-e-duniya kuchh nahin hai

jaan muqaddar mein thi jaan se pyara na tha

is bhare shahr mein aaram main kaise paun

umr jitni bhi kaTi uske bharose pe kaTi

iblis bhi rakh lete hain jab nam farishte

kaun kahta hai ki dariya mein rawani kam hai

aql har baat pe hairan hai ise kya kahiye

kitni be-nur thi din bhar nazar-e-parwana

ye kis gham se aqidat ho gai hai

KHat mein usko kaise likkhen kya pana kya khona hai

raat ki ninden to pahle hi uDa kar le gaya

tujh pe jaan dene ko tayyar koi to hoga

kahin bhi saya nahin kis taraf chale koi

main akela hun yahan mere siwa koi nahin

main ki KHush hota tha dariya ki rawani dekh kar

dil o nazar pe tere baad kya nahin guzra

dekhne usko koi mere siwa kyun aae

suraj ki kiran dekh ke bezar hue ho

teri talash to kya teri aas bhi na rahe

waqia koi na jannat mein hua mere baad

Dub jaenge sitare aur bikhar jaegi raat
