dar-e-mai-khana se diwar-e-chaman tak pahunche
hum ghazalon ke taaqub mein khutan tak pahunche

hath mai-khwaron ke be-qasd uthe the lekin
ittifaqan tere gesu ki shikan tak pahunche

madrase mein kahan us zulf ka mauzu-e-jadid
log pahunche to riwayat-e-kuhan tak pahunche

rasta ek tha hum ishq ke diwanon ka
qad-o-gesu se chale dar-o-rasan tak pahunche

aaen hum dast-daraazi pe to maikhane se
silsila anjuman-e-sarw-o-saman tak pahunche

ek qaba-e-subuk-o-tang mein sau sau hain tilism
kya koi husn ke asrar-e-kuhan tak pahunche

aap hi aap jo khul jae teri zulf-e-daraaz
na-gahan be-hunari nuqta-e-fan tak pahunche

ai sukhan-fahm hum us bazm se aae hain jahan
hairat aaina-e-uslub-e-sukhan tak pahunche

is tarah shauq-e-ghazalan mein ghazal-khwan ho zafar
shohrat-e-mushk-e-ghazal shahr-e-khutan tak pahunche
