khizan se kaun si shai chhin li bahaaron ne
gulon ko aankh dikhai chaman mein kharon ne

chhupa chhupa ke rakha tha jise bahaaron ne
ugal diya hai wahi khun lala-zaron ne

qadam qadam pe hazaron fareb hain saqi
irade nek to bandhe hain baada-khwaron ne

usi maqam pe pahunche hain tere diwane
jahan se aankh churai thi hoshyaron ne

mere jamal ka har aaina ubhar aaya
ye saz kaun se chhede hain aabshaaron ne

qadam qadam pe tajalli nazar nazar jalwa
kahan bulaya hai musa ko kohsaron ne

shab-e-firaq umidon ki lau bhi kanp uthi
kuchh aise git bhi gae hain chand taron ne

umid-o-bim ke aaine muttasil rakh kar
hayat-e-nau mujhe bakhshi tere sahaaron ne

ye ittifaq hai in ko wafa na ras aai
bahaya khun jigar tere jaan-nisaron ne

dua hai phir bhi salamat rahe ye mai-khana
ewaz mein mai ke piya khun baada-khwaron ne

sukun ki bhik to mangi na thi kabhi main ne
karam kiya hai kahan mere gham-gusaron ne

chubho diye hain dilon mein jo khar-e-gham tum ne
unhin se zakhm kurede wafa-shiaron ne

kahan ka zauq-e-nazar khud nazar hai gum 'faiq'
chhupa liya hai mujhe yun tere nazaron ne
