ghamon se hijr ke kuchh aise bad-hawas rahe
wo mil gae bhi to hum der tak udas rahe

ye anjuman to sitam ko sitam hi samjhegi
tera karam ki hamin-ham ada-shanas rahe

wo chaak-damani-e-gul ka raaz kya jaanen
bhari bahaar mein jo khar be-libas rahe

junun hai ek jasarat junun hai ek tarang
khirad nahin ki asir-e-umid-o-yas rahe

na tutna tha na tuta ghurur-e-gumrahi
pahunch gae bhi to manzil ke aas-pas rahe

nigah tak to utha di kisi ne jam ke sath
jo phir bhi rahti hai 'khawar' to apni pyas rahe
