dil tha hamara sone jaisa ab tum ko jatlayen kya
ulfat mein kya dukh jhele hain hum ne ye batlaen kya

ab ke baras bhi sawan barsa waisa hi kuchh pagal sa
kali ghataen kaise utthin sara kuchh batlaen kya

gulshan mein hai phir wo bahaaran jis ke tum shaidai the
chashm-e-tasawwur se hi dekho lafzon mein dikhlaen kya

dil ki zid to dekho kya anhoni baaten karta hai
sham-o-sahar ki doren chhutin ab is ko bahlaen kya

zist ibarat hai ek aisi padh na sakoge jaane do
lafz ke dipak jo hain raushan hum un ko gahnaen kya
