kuchh bhi kar pae na hum hijr ki hairani mein ghar bhi viran kiya dil ki pareshani mein rang hi rang hain bikhre hue daman mein mere rach gaya hai meri aankhon ka lahu pani mein jism apna bhi mahakta hua gulzar laga phir tere gham ki hawa aai hai jaulani mein yun nigahon mein utarne lage yaadon ke nujum dard bhi mahw hua aaina-samani mein apne khwabon ke tilismat se bahar to nikal jism ko chhu ke kabhi dekh tu uryani mein sukhan-e-garm ke pardon ko girane wala chhapne paya na kabhi apni pashemani mein khalwat-e-dil ke andheron mein wo suraj nikla mund gai aankh meri ruh ki tabani mein aafiyat dhundne nikle the khamoshi mein 'nadim' ghir gae apni hi aawaz ki tughyani mein
