dil ke be-tartib virane ko ghar us ne kiya
phir nizam-e-zindagi zer-o-zabar us ne kiya

aas ke raushan diye rakh kar fasil-e-sham par
raat ke andhe safar ko be-khatar us ne kiya

ek us ke dam se har mausam hua rashk-e-bahaar
ek shakh-e-arzu ko be-samar us ne kiya

an-kahe lafzon ko bakhsha ek naya tarz-e-kalam
an-bahe ashkon ko phir lal-o-gohar us ne kiya

be-qarari thi jise sunne-sunane ke liye
harf-e-shauq-e-be-karan ko mukhtasar us ne kiya

khwab mein milna to goya roz ka mamul tha
is anokhe khel ko yun mo'atabar us ne kiya

umr-bhar jis ko nigahen dhundhti phirti rahen
umr-bhar mere khayalon mein basar us ne kiya

kar raha tha wo bhi tare tod kar lane ki baat
be-sabab lamhon ka jadu be-asar us ne kiya

kahkashan phirti rahi galiyon mein kis ko dhundhti
log kahte hain mere ghar tak safar us ne kiya
