nachiz bhi khuban se mulaqat mein gum hai
majzub zara sair-e-maqamat mein gum hai

kya shama jalata hai ki ai daulat-e-shab-e-tab
kal subh ka suraj to teri gat mein gum hai

khulte hi nahin lams pe us jism ke asrar
sayyah ajab shahr-e-tilismat mein gum hai

main dub gaya jab tere paikar mein to tuta
ye wahm ki tu khud hi meri zat mein gum hai

ya husn hi is shahr mein kafir nahin hota
ya ishq yahan izzat-e-sadat mein gum hai
