ek qatra khun kya mere dil ka tapak gaya
virana-e-hayat badaman mahak gaya

pairahan-e-dil aatish-e-gul se lahak gaya
khirman mein aarzuon ke shoala bhadak gaya

aate hi un ki yaad khushi mahw ho gai
kohra chhata to dard ka suraj chamak gaya

mara phira talash-e-mohabbat mein dar-ba-dar
apne hi ghar pahunch ke main afsos thak gaya

ai zabt dekh kam hui jati hai raushni
shayad meri nazar se mera gham jhalak gaya

jab bhi hua ki bolte kuchh tishna-arzu
chashm-e-siyah-e-yar ka saghar khanak gaya

gum dasht-e-zindagi mein hua karwan-e-shauq
chehra ghubar-e-ranj-o-alam se chamak gaya

'barq' aagahi ne apni ek angdai si jo li
dekha libas-e-husn-e-tamanna masak gaya
