muD ke dekhun to nahin koi magar lagta hai

aaine mein pas-e-manzar ka ubharna kaisa

meri aankhon mein jo thoDi si nami rah gai hai

shahr-ashob likhun shahr-e-tamanna likkhun

meri zindagi ki kitab mein yahi naqsh hain mah-o-sal ke

ek hi ghar mein rakh diye kis ne juda juda charagh

jism-o-jaan rakhta hun lekin ye hawala kuchh nahin

ghubar uDta raha karwan ruka hi nahin

zamin thi saKHt mujhe koi naqsh-e-pa na mila

zamin pe maktab-e-adam ka ek nisab hai ishq

ek muddat se nahin dekhi hai ghar ki surat

na wo ghar raha na wo baam-o-dar na wo chilmanen na wo palki

kabhi sukun to kabhi iztirab bhi jhela

qanaat umr-bhar ki ghar ke baam-o-dar pe rakkhi thi

tamasha-gah hai ya aalam-e-be-rang-o-bu kya hai

meri aah-o-fughan se be-samaat ho gae ho kya

ishq ne kar diya kya kya suKHan-ara tere nam

jaane kaise main sada be-baal-o-par uDta raha

rahe dariya-e-suKHan yunhi rawan mere baad

main jab bhi tere shahr-e-KHush-asar se nikla

apne hone ka har ek lamha pata deti hui

mat puchhiye kya jitne nikla tha main ghar se

yaad aaya hai ghar lauT ke sahra bhi bahut din

be-sabaati ke hain ya isbaat ke chaaron taraf

duniya-e-be-libas hai is intizar mein

ghurur naz ada tamkanat-shiari sab

sab aag zahiri thi dilon mein lagi na thi

jata hai kahin KHun se nisbat ka asar bhi

ye jo tufan mere shahr mein aaya hua hai

kitab-e-zist ke auraq-e-tar-tar ke nam

kis liye gosha-e-aKHbar ye Khaali jae

bhul paya na wo aankhen na wo chehra ta-umr

hairaten KHatm huin sehr-e-tamasha TuTa

jahan-e-gul mein agar dasht-e-jaan nahin hota

shab ki sari raushni ko raegan karti hui

tha meri KHwahishon mein jo kal pech-o-tab sa
