aise chhute hain tasawwur mein tujhe hum chup-chap
jaise phulon ko chhua karti hai shabnam chup-chap

tark-e-ulfat pe bhi kar jate hain akasr gumrah
mere khwabon ko tere gesu-e-pur-kham chup-chap

jaise karti hi nahin tang hamein ye masum
kaise jati hai shab-e-hijr sahar-dam chup-chap

koi milta hi nahin us ko sukhan ka mauzua
baithi rahti hai mere pas shab-e-gham chup-chap

shorish-e-waqt ne bakhshi nahin ja-e-afsos
yani karna hi pada zist ka matam chup-chap

mauj-e-hangam-e-charaghan hai na wo rang-e-abir
shokhi-e-id bhi khamosh moharram chup-chap

meri aankhen hain tere husn ki goya taswir
main ne dekha hai tere husn ka aalam chup-chap

daur-e-iblis ke ye baada-gusaran 'majaz'
pite rahte hain jahannam ka jahannam chup-chap
