aap ko gardish-e-ayyam se dar lagta hai
aur hamein ishq ke anjam se dar lagta hai

chashm-e-saqi ke ishaare mein nihan kya shai thi
hasrat-e-baada-e-gulfam se dar lagta hai

zer-e-lab un ke tabassum se sukun mang to lun
apni hi jurat-e-nakaam se dar lagta hai

nam jo aath-pahr wird-e-zaban rahta tha
ab ye wahshat hai usi nam se dar lagta hai

hazrat-e-khizar se thi rahbari ki khwahish
ab usi khwahish-e-nakaam se dar lagta hai

manzilen ishq ki be-khauf-o-khatar tai kin hain
ab ye aalam hai ki har gam se dar lagta hai

kyun wazifa sahar-o-sham kiya tark 'safir'
kyun khyal-e-sahr-o-sham se dar lagta hai
