tamam hijr usi ka visal hai us ka
main ji raha hun magar jaan o mal hai us ka

wo zina zina utarne lage to sab bujh jae
wo baam par hai to sab mah-o-sal hai us ka

main qatl ho ke bhi sharminda apne-ap se hun
ki is ke baad to sara zawal hai us ka

ugal rahi hain khazane khuli hui aankhen
khabar karo ki ye sar paemal hai us ka

hazar sal se hun tishna-e-sawal-o-jawab
main itna pyasa hun sona muhaal hai us ka

uthae hath to angdai istiara bane
wo tab-o-tab hai ki har dil ghazal hai us ka

qadam qadam shajar-e-saya-dar paida hai
ki mere sath safar mein khayal hai us ka

wo le ke aaya hai apni sarisht mein shabnam
safar bhi jaanib-e-baad-e-shimal hai us ka

nigah utthe to shaista-e-junun ho jaen
hawas ko said kare wo jamal hai us ka

khabar nahin thi ki yun us mein dub jaenge
hamare chehre pe rang-e-malal hai us ka

kabhi kabhi to bade zor se dhadakta hai
ye mera dil nahin koi kamal hai us ka

jo aaya hijr ka mausam to kya karenge hum
jo tajrabe mein nahin wo sawal hai us ka
