badha ab aur taqaze na chashm-e-nam apne
chhupa ke sab se kahan tak likhun alam apne

hui hain us se wo baaten bhi jo kabhi na huin
aur us mein bhul gae hum to kitne gham apne

sukun-e-dil ki talab wahshaton ke andeshe
yahi rahe hain shab-o-roz besh-o-kam apne

kise talash karen kis ke ham-safar ban jaen
khud apni rah mein uthte nahin qadam apne

kuchh us ki zulf-e-shikan-dar-shikan ke ramz khulen
rah-e-hayat samete jo pech-o-kham apne

sukun-e-qalb-o-gham-e-dahr ki kashakash mein
yahi hua ki tumhaare hue na hum apne
