diwana apna kaun sa aalam dikha gaya

diwana apna kaun sa aalam dikha gaya
un ke labon pe ek tabassum sa aa gaya
muddat se zindagi mein nahin koi inqalab
shayad tera firaq mujhe ras aa gaya


tum par hi kuchh asar na hua aur barha
dushman bhi mere haal pe aansu baha gaya
un se barah-e-rast hui jab na guftugu
ashkon ke waste se payam-e-wafa gaya


naqsh-o-nigar-e-daman-e-sahra ko ho nawed
main yani ek aabla-pa aur aa gaya
ab is ka kya ilaj ki un ka har ek sitam
kuchh aur e'timad-e-mohabbat badha gaya


wo bazm aur jurat-e-izhaar-e-zindagi
ek main hi tha ki tohmat-e-hasti utha gaya
afsurda bazm-e-mah ho ya shama-e-ashk-bar
parwana apna jashn-e-charaghan mana gaya


un ka karam to aaj bhi hai dastgir-e-shauq
'basit' magar hamin mein koi farq aa gaya
