dasht-nawardi mein koi sat tha
main bhi ajab manzar-e-baghat tha

zarra tha ya khar tha jo kuchh bhi tha
mere liye shaareh-e-ayat tha

dub gae is mein kai pure chand
dar tera chah-e-tilismat tha

mujh ko ye dhun sae mein baithen kahin
tujh ko magar shauq-e-muhimmat tha

panw tale udta hua takht-e-zar
sar pe mere saya-e-jinnat tha
