harim-e-dil ki taraf mah-rukhan nikal aae
hazaron chand sar-e-asman nikal aae

hawaen bharne lagin khushbuon ke paimane
jo chand phul sar-e-shakh-e-jaan nikal aae

ye khas baat mili ishq-zad-gan mein hamein
koi bhi zikr ho zikr-e-butan nikal aae

na wo zamin na wo aasman na wo shab-o-roz
khayal-e-yar hum aakhir kahan nikal aae

kabhi kabhi gul-o-bulbul ki guftugu bhi suno
ajab nahin koi tarz-e-bayan nikal aae

kuredi jae jo khak-e-dayar-e-dil-zadgan
nawadiraat ka ganj-e-garan nikal aae

bhatak rahi hai udasi hamari shahr-ba-shahr
kahin to kucha-e-zinda-dilan nikal aae

dhadak raha tha jo sine ki wusaton mein kahin
us ek zarre mein kitne jahan nikal aae

suna raha tha main diwar-o-dar ko apni ghazal
magar wahan to kai nukta-dan nikal aae

khayal zehn se kuchh is tarah nikalta hai
bujhe charagh se jaise dhuan nikal aae

daba sake na tajassus ki aag hum 'yawar'
suna pados mein shor-e-fughan nikal aae
