ehsas mein phul khil rahe hain
patjhad ke ajib silsile hain

kuchh itni shadid tirgi hai
aankhon mein sitare tairte hain

dekhen to hawa jami hui hai
sochen to darakht jhumte hain

suqraat ne zahr pi liya tha
hum ne jine ke dukh sahe hain

hum tujh se bigad ke jab bhi uthe
phir tere huzur aa gae hain

hum aks hain ek dusre ka
chehre ye nahin hain aaine hain

lamhon ka ghubar chha raha hai
yaadon ke charagh jal rahe hain

suraj ne ghane sanobaron mein
jale se shuaon ke bune hain

yaksan hain firaq-o-wasl donon
ye marhale ek se kade hain

pa kar bhi to nind ud gai thi
kho kar bhi to rat-jage mile hain

jo din teri yaad mein kate the
mazi ke khandar bane khade hain

jab tera jamal dhundte the
ab tera khayal dhundte hain

hum dil ke gudaz se hain majbur
jab khush bhi hue to roe hain

hum zinda hain ai firaq ki raat
pyari tere baal kyun khule hain
