hamare dasht se pahle yahi thikane the
sharab-khane the ya phir kitab-khane the

wo hijr-zade shab-e-wasl ye bhi bhul gae
charagh un ko jalane nahin bujhane the

kisi bhi darja riayat nahin hai wahshat mein
bichhad ke us se tumhein qahqahe lagane the

ajib baat hai un ke bhi nam bhul gae
tumhaare shahr mein do chaar hi diwane the

hum is liye bhi kabhi ja na pae sahra se
nae diwanon ke bhi hausle badhane the
