hijr mein tere tasawwur ka sahaara hai bahut
raat andheri hi sahi phir bhi ujala hai bahut

mang kar meri ana ko nahin dariya bhi qubul
aur be-mang mayassar ho to qatra hai bahut

ye to sach hai ki shab-e-gham ko sanwara tum ne
chashm-e-tar ne bhi mera sath nibhaya hai bahut

baat karna to kuja us se taaruf bhi nahin
umr bhar jis ko har ek haal mein socha hai bahut

jaane kyun mujh se wo katra ke guzar jata hai
jis ne khud mujh ko kabhi tut ke chaha hai bahut

hum se fankar bhi is daur mein kam hi honge
hum ne duniya se tere gham ko chhupaya hai bahut

wo kahin mujh se taghaful ka sabab puchh na le
shan aaj us ne mujhe ghaur se dekha hai bahut
