hisar-e-qarya-e-khunbar se nikalte hue
ye dil malul tha aazar se nikalte hue

badi hi der talak dhup mujh ko chhu na saki
tumhaare saya-e-diwar se nikalte hue

ki phir se takht ko aana tha mere qadmon mein
main pur-yaqin tha darbar se nikalte hue

shua-e-nur ke phute se jaan larazti thi
tumhaari garmi-e-rukhsar se nikalte hue

tumhaare dhyan mein gum ho gai thi mahki hawa
hudud-e-jada-e-gulzar se nikalte hue

main laut aaya tujhe chhod kar magar aadha
wahin raha dar-o-diwar se nikalte hue

faza mein der talak khub jagmagate 'shumar'
wo lafz shokhi-e-guftar se nikalte hue
