ishq ko chhoD kar aur sab baat ki

'ishq ko chhod kar aur sab baat ki
us ne jab jab bhi mujh se mulaqat ki
hijr kahta hai suraj na dube kabhi
aur khwabon ki khwahish hai phir raat ki


aaj thahrenge hum bhi tere shahr mein
baadalon se guzarish hai barsat ki
ek qalam main ne tohfe mein kya di use
us ne har daf'a phir us ki hi baat ki


zindagi-bhar ujalon ko tarse hain hum
intiha ho gai dekh zulmat ki
meri aankhon mein logon ne dekha tumhein
jab bhi chashma utara teri baat ki


zikr jab bhi meri sha'iri ka hua
sab ne bauchhaar kar di hidayat ki
