aankhon se rawan kyon hai mera khun-e-jigar aaj
shayad ki hua dil hadaf-e-tir-e-nazar aaj

kya dil ki lagi hijr mein ashkon se bujhegi
kya tera bharosa ho mujhe dida-e-tar aaj

rah rah ke jo yaad aata hai ek bhulne wala
tham tham ke kuchh uthta hai mera dard-e-jigar aaj

afsos yahi hai ki kharidar hain mafqud
har ashk ka qatra hai mera rashk-e-guhar aaj

badhti hi chali jati hai saat hai jo us ki
shayad ki na hogi shab-e-furqat ki sahar aaj

wo subh se ghabrae hue phirte hain ghar mein
dikhlati hai tasir meri aah-e-jigar aaj

ya kal the kisi bazm mein hum zinat-e-mahfil
ya misl bagule ke hue khak-basar aaj

ek samt hain arman to ek samt tamanna
is shan se hum jate hain allah ke ghar aaj

pahlu se jo phir uth ke wo 'masud' gaya hai
hai subh se phir haal mera nau-e-digar aaj
