tu hai mani parda-e-alfaz se bahar to aa
aise pas-manzar mein kya rahna sar-e-manzar to aa

aaj ke sare haqaeq wahimon ki zad mein hain
dhaalna hai tujh ko khwabon se koi paikar to aa

tu sahi ek aks lekin ye hisar-e-aina
log tujh ko dekhna chahen barun-e-dar to aa

zaiqa zakhmon ka yun kaise samajh mein aaega
phenkna hai band pani mein koi patthar to aa

jism-e-khaki tujh ko shishe ki haweli hi sahi
ai charagh-e-jaan kabhi fanus ke bahar to aa

is jagah aahang mein dhalti hain dil ki dhadkanen
aa mere gahwara-e-ehsas ke andar to aa

bar-ha ji mein ye aai umr-e-rafta se kahun
sham hone ko hai ai bhule musafir ghar to aa
