hai azal ki is ghalat bakhshi pe hairani mujhe
ishq la-fani mila hai zindagi fani mujhe

main wo basti hun ki yaad-e-raftagan ke bhes mein
dekhne aati hai ab meri hi virani mujhe

thi yahi tamhid mere matami anjam ki
phul hanste hain to hoti hai pashimani mujhe

husn be-parda hua jata hai ya rab kya karun
ab to karni hi padi dil ki nigahbani mujhe

bandh kar roz-e-azal shiraaza-e-marg-o-hayat
saunp di goya do aalam ki pareshani mujhe

puchhta phirta tha danaon se ulfat ke rumuz
yaad ab rah rah ke aati hai wo nadani mujhe
