hijr ki shab zulf-e-barham ka khayal aata raha
ek na ek har din mere sar par wabaal aata raha

shukr hai tarik dil mein raushni ke waste
go tasawwur mein sahi us ka jamal aata raha

hai karam us ka ki hum se be-basar ke waste
aalam-e-amsal mein wo be-misal aata raha

bhulne wale ko aakhir dil bhulae kis tarah
be-khayali mein bhi jab us ka khayal aata raha

main ne apni khastagi ki dad pai is tarah
mere arz-e-haal par un ko jalal aata raha

bas yahi kya kam hai meri saf-goi ki dalil
un ke dil mein meri jaanib se malal aata raha

kya bigad jata jo ho jati tawajjoh ki nazar
muddaton dar par gada-e-be-sawal aata raha

mujh ko 'bekhud' jab kabhi aaya hai tauba ka khayal
der tak apne gunahon ka khayal aata raha
