hamare honton pe ek muddat se jis ka nauha machal raha hai ye utra utra udas chehra kabhi hamari ghazal raha hai ajab nazara-parast dilbar hai tum sunoge to hans padoge lahu rulata hai aur kahta hai surkh chashma ubal raha hai jo apni laila se dur bhi hai jise riwayat ka pas bhi hai koi to hai jo nisab-e-hijran ke sare mani badal raha hai na aarzu hai na ishq baqi ujad dil mein udas dil mein jab is pe kuchh bhi nahin bacha hai to kahe sala uchhal raha hai nazar haqiqat-shanas jis din milegi us roz jaan loge hamari aankhon ke ratjagon mein ye khwab nain hai jo pal raha hai wo ek lamha jise taqaddus ki zad mein aa kar main kho chuka hun wo ek lamha meri hawas ko hazar raaton se khal raha hai
