falak pe sham dhale jo chamakne lagte hain
wo teri aankhon mein aa kar damakne lagte hain

sukut-e-shab main tera nam jab bhi leta hun
sahife ishq ke dil par utarne lagte hain

ghamon ki kali ghataon ko chir kar jaanan
teri tajalli ke suraj dahakne lagte hain

chaman chaman mein khile phul le ke nam tera
tasawwuraat ke gulshan mahakne lagte hain

teri sadaon ke ghunghru faza mein yun chhanke
ki jaise bagh mein bulbul chahakne lagte hain

tu be-irada bhi jab zulf apni jhatkae
sulagte dasht pe baadal barasne lagte hain

tu jaan tod ke leti hai jab bhi angdai
khutut-e-jism khala mein ubharne lagte lagte hain

tere junun ka bhi 'ejaz' kya mudawa ho
ki chhil lete ho jab zakhm bharne lagte hain
