fasla yun to bas makan bhar tha
lekin apna safar jahan bhar tha

dhup dil mein faqat guman bhar thi
abr aankhon mein aasman bhar tha

aankh bhar ishq aur badan bhar chah
shukr lab bhar gila zaban bhar tha

kya mila juz sukut-e-be-payan
shor sine mein karwan bhar tha

muzhda-e-wasl tha bas ek fiqara
khauf-e-ada to dastan bhar tha
