kahin thi rakh kahin tha dhuan kahin thi aag
falak dhaka tha sitaron se jab zamin thi aag

jame hue lab-o-rukhsar bhi dahak rahe the
hisar-e-mausam-e-barfab mein hasin thi aag

hudud-e-jism se bahar nikal ke sard lagi
quyud-e-jism mein thi jab tak thi bar-tarin thi aag

adawaton mein nae rang bhar raha tha wo
baghal mein sanp the aur zer-e-astin thi aag

tera thethurta badan bhi bujha saka na mujhe
kuchh aise bar-sar-e-sahn-e-badan makin thi aag

shab-e-visal ka ahwal puchhna mat dost
pas-e-qaba-e-ghazab itr-ambarin thi aag

kamal-e-kun ne rakha pyas mein jamal-e-ab
nahin tha jab kahin pani kahin nahin thi aag

safar ka bojh barabar raha hai donon par
jahan jahan bhi tha pani wahin wahin thi aag

wajud-e-lams ki lazzat se na-shanas raha
wo hath sard tha 'haidar' meri jabin thi aag
