aaina dekha to surat apni pahchani gai
bhul hi baithe the khud ko umr arzani gai

jaante hain is talatum-khez dariya ki ada
ek hamara nam sun kar mauj-e-sailani gai

ek charagh-e-dil bacha tha aur sannate ki shab
zau-fishan taron ki maddham khwab-afshani gai

kaun hai jo ji sakega moajizon se sanehe
us nigah-e-shauq ki hum par mehrbani gai

aaj shayad dub kar us ne kiya hai hum ko yaad
is hawa-e-sard ki rangin nadani gai

kis qadar tanha hai dil is ajnabi si rah par
baghban ki jo nawazish thi nigahbani gai

ab mujhe is dil ke lutne ka nahin koi malal
wae shauq-e-dil salamat ho pashemani gai

jaaniye kya kya dukhon ne gher kar ruswa kiya
chashm-e-tar mein dubte taron ki hairani gai
