chashm-e-jaanan ke hain kis darja ishaaraat wasia
har takhayyul hai buland us ka har ek baat wasia

nahin rahti kabhi raftar-e-zamana yaksan
dahr mein din hai kabhi aur kabhi raat wasia

khwahish-e-wasl pe farmaya ki han han hoga
mukhtasar lafz hain lekin hain ishaaraat wasia

ek hichki ne kiya qissa-e-furqat ko tamam
hum samajhte the ki hain hijr ke haalat wasia

kya tajjub jo kifayat na kare roz-e-hisab
is qadar hain meri taqdir ki aafat wasia

hijr ki ek ghadi ek baras hoti hai
din ko hai tul jo furqat mein to hai raat wasia

haalat-e-naza mein wo puchhte hain kya kahiye
waqt thoda sa hai 'afaq' shikayat wasia
