is darja hua khush ki dara dil se bahut main
khud tod diya badh ke tamannaon ka dhaga

taki na banun phir kahin ek banda-e-majbur
han qaid-e-mohabbat se yahi soch ke bhaga

thokar jo lagi apne azaem ne sambhaala
main ne to kabhi koi sahaara nahin manga

chalta raha main ret pe pyasa tan-e-tanha
bahti rahi kuchh dur pe ek pyar ki ganga

main tujh ko magar jaan gaya sham-e-tamanna
samjhi thi ki jal jaega shaer hai patinga

aankhon mein abhi tak hai khumar-e-gham-e-jaanan
jaise ki koi khwab-e-mohabbat se hai jaga

jo khud ko badal dete hain is daur mein 'baqar'
karte hain haqiqat mein wo sone pe suhaga
