hai tariqa koi khwab-e-wasl ki tabir ka
mere us ke darmiyan parda hai ek taswir ka

zikr tera tark karna hai mere gham ki dawa
muntazir hun is mujarrab nuskhe ki tasir ka

yaad mein teri tadap kar haal-e-dil karna raqam
murtakib hota hun main har shab isi taqsir ka

zakhm-e-dil ko dhankne ka ek wasila tha sukhan
phir wo hila ban gaya is zakhm ki tashhir ka

han wahi sarkash mujhe ek ja nazar aaya tha kal
sar jhuka kar sun raha tha faisla taqdir ka

karta hun iza-e-tanhai ki tadbiren bahut
kaw-kawe imtihan leti hai har tadbir ka

aagahi ne chup kiya aisa ki shahr-e-shor mein
nara-e-haq rah gaya hissa meri jagir ka
