ishq ne jab bhi kisi dil pe hukumat ki hai
to use dard ki mearaj inayat ki hai
apni taid pe khud aql bhi hairan hui
dil ne aise mere khwabon ki himayat ki hai
shahr-e-ehsas teri yaad se raushan kar ke
main ne har ghar mein tere zikr ki jurat ki hai
mujh ko lagta hai ki insan adhura hai abhi
tu ne duniya mein use bhej ke ujlat ki hai
shahr ke tira-tarin ghar se wo khurshid mila
jis ki tanwir mein tasir qayamat ki hai
sochta hun ki main aise mein kidhar ko jaun
tera milna bhi kathin, yaad bhi shiddat ki hai
is tarah aundhe pade hain ye shikasta jazbe
jaise ek wahm ne in sab ki imamat ki hai
ye jo bikhri hui lashen hain waraq par 'jawwad'
ye mere zabt se lafzon ne baghawat ki hai
