ajab thin manzilen jin se guzar kar lai
hawa hi baam se mujh ko utar kar lai

meri sarisht ki zid ne dikhaya rang apna
khizan ki mauj ko mauj-e-bahaar kar lai

nigah phand gai bagh-e-dil ka darwaza
samar bhi shakh-e-tawajjoh se par kar lai

kinare aa to gaya main magar hayat meri
har ek salib se mujh ko guzar kar lai

khayal-e-khushk ne sairab hona chaha to
ye aankh jama kai aabshaar kar lai

mah-o-nujum ne koshish bahut ki rokne ki
falak se mujh ko meri khu utar kar lai

bikherte rahe hum aur hawa ki zinda-dili
jab aai jama hamara ghubar kar lai

main jis ko chahta tha ye parinda wo to nahin
ye kis ko meri tamanna shikar kar lai

haris-e-saat-e-khush-dida thi so mere liye
gul-e-fasurda ko 'yawar' sanwar kar lai
