alag-thalag rahe kabhi kabhi sabhi ke ho gae
junun ka hath chhut gaya to be-hisi ke ho gae

talab ki aanch kya bujhi badan hi rakh ho gaya
hawa ke hath kya lage gali gali ke ho gae

bahut dinon basi rahi teri mahak khayal mein
bahut dinon talak tere khayal hi ke ho gae

charagh-e-sham bujh gaya to dil ke dagh jal uthe
phir aisi raushni hui ki raushni ke ho gae

sukhan-wari ne hijr ko bhi sham-e-wasl kar diya
teri talab siwa hui to shairi ke ho gae
