kahin par subh rakhta hun kahin par sham rakhta hun
phir is be-rabt se khake mein khud se kaam rakhta hun

saliqe se main us ki guftugu ka lutf leta hun
aur us ke ru-ba-ru dil mein khayal-e-kham rakhta hun

ba-zahir madh se us ki kabhi thakta nahin lekin
darun-e-khana-e-dil khwahish-e-dushnam rakhta hun

khush aai hai abhi to qaid-e-khwahish is kharabe mein
abhi khud ko rahin-e-gardish-e-ayyam rakhta hun

safar ki subh mein ranj-e-safar ki dhul udti hai
had-e-aghaz mein andesha-e-anjam rakhta hun

firaq o wasl se hat kar koi rishta hamara hai
ki us ko chhod pata hun na us ko tham rakhta hun

dalil-e-khwab-e-masti hai teri aamadgi imshab
magar is shab mein tujh se aur koi kaam rakhta hun

tajawuz se bhala kab tak guzar auqat mumkin thi
so apne khun tak shor-e-dil-e-badnam rakhta hun
