charagh-e-sham tha din bhar bujha raha koi
ghurub shams ke hote hi jal gaya koi

bayan kar nahin sakta kabhi mahasin-e-ishq
koi radif ghazal mein na qafiya koi

rafaqaton mein ajab tarz-e-ajnabiyyat tha
ki sath rah ki bhi hum se raha juda koi

ye rang dard ke aate nahin sukhan mein yunhi
nihaal-e-dil pe mere zakhm hai khula koi

mere safar mein meri ham-safar hai tanhai
ki do qadam na mere sath chal saka koi

na ain par hi ruki shin pe na qaf pe hi
tumhaari yaad ki manzil na intiha koi
