hone ki ek jhalak si dikha kar chala gaya
kholi thi hum ne aankh ki manzar chala gaya

kya khud ko dekhne ka ajab shauq tha ki wo
chup-chap uth ke su-e-samundar chala gaya

kin daeron mein ghumte hain ab khabar nahin
kyun hath se wo chaak sa chakkar chala gaya

pahle qadam pe khatm hua qissa-e-junun
pahla qadam hi dasht barabar chala gaya

hum bhi usi ke sath gae hosh se 'said'
lamha jo qaid-e-waqt se bahar chala gaya
