aaseb-sifat ye meri tanhai ajab hai
har samt teri yaad ki shahnai ajab hai

ek bichhde shanasa se mulaqat ke ba-wasf
bikhre hue lamhon ki shakebai ajab hai

ab silsila-e-ranj-o-mehan tut bhi jae
is bar to kuchh tarz-e-pazirai ajab hai

ab mujh pe khula apne dar-o-baam ka afsun
yun hai ki mere ghar ki ye tanhai ajab hai

suraj se utarte hain mere har-bun-e-mu par
aankhen bhi rakhun band to binai ajab hai

har din sitam-ijad hai har raat siyah-fam
yarab ye teri anjuman-arai ajab hai

pighla hua sona thi jo diwar-o-saqaf par
wo dhup ghadi bhar mein hi kajlai ajab hai

nas nas mein phisalta hai tere qurb ka nashsha
har mauja-e-khun-nab ki gahrai ajab hai
