dil tha ki gham-e-jaan tha
main khud se pasheman tha

main ne use chaha to
wo mujh se gurezan tha

fitrat ke ishaare par
jo naqsh tha raqsan tha

haalat ke hathon mein
kyun mera gareban tha

kal mere tasarruf mein
ek aalam-e-imkan tha

main khud se chhupa lekin
us shakhs pe uryan tha

kyun shahr-e-nigaran mein
aaghaz pareshan tha
