ajib raat thi wo raat mein nahin aaya
ki mere khwab-e-tilismat mein nahin aaya

wo is liye hi to aaya tha phul khil jaen
phir is ke baad wo baghat mein nahin aaya

main chahta tha use chhu ke dekh lun lekin
wo aasman mere hat mein nahin aaya

wagarna tum se talluq main khatm kar deta
pe intishaar bayanat mein nahin aaya

gunah muaf main us ko khuda bana baitha
khuda khayal-e-mulaqat mein nahin aaya

khule kiwad mere ghar ke bain karte rahe
koi bhi hath mere hat mein nahin aaya

furaat tu ne bahattar ki tishnagi dekhi
tu phir bhi khema-e-sadat mein nahin aaya
