wo thi zulfen thin aur shana tha
kitna uljha hua fasana tha

un ka uthna hamein uthana tha
dard-e-sar yunhi ek bahana tha

panw mein aable na pad jate
do qadam par gharib-khana tha

kaif-e-ahd-e-shabab kya kahna
har qadam par sharab-khana tha

kho gai thi nigah jalwon mein
sara aalam nigar-khana tha

tum ne us ko bhi sun liya hota
'ashk' ka haal bhi fasana tha
