ishq mein ho ke mubtila dil ne kamal kar diya
yun hi si ek shakl ko zohra jamal kar diya

hum ko tumhaari bazm se uthne ka kuchh qalaq nahin
jaisa khayal ho saka waisa khayal kar diya

sail-e-rawan-e-umr ke aage thahar saka na kuchh
waqt ne mehr-e-husn ko ru-ba-zawal kar diya

ek sam-e-azab sa phail gaya wajud mein
roz-o-shab-e-firaq ne jina muhaal kar diya

meri zaban-e-khushk par ret ka zaiqa sa hai
mausam-e-bar-shigal ne kaisa ye haal kar diya

dhund mein kho ke rah gain suraten mehr-o-mah si
waqt ki gard ne unhen khwab-o-khayal kar diya
