barpa tere visal ka tufan ho chuka
dil mein jo bagh tha wo bayaban ho chuka

paida wajud mein har ek imkan ho chuka
aur main bhi soch soch ke hairan ho chuka

pahle khayal sab ka tha ab apni fikr hai
daman kahan raha jo gareban ho chuka

tum hi ne to ye dard diya hai janab-e-man
tum se hamare dard ka darman ho chuka

jo jashn-washn hai wo hisar-e-hawas mein hai
ye aarzu ka shahr to viran ho chuka

auron se puchhiye to haqiqat pata chale
tanhai mein to zat ka irfan ho chuka

ek shahryar shahr-e-hawas ko bhi chahiye
aur main bhi aashiqi se pareshan ho chuka

kitne maze ki baat hai aati nahin hai id
haalanki khatm arsa-e-ramazan ho chuka

mausam khizan ka ras kab aaya hamein 'shujaa'
jab aamad-e-bahaar ka elan ho chuka
