ishq mein kya hathon se kisi ke daman-e-hasti chhut gaya
shama koi khamosh hui ya koi sitara tut gaya

khel rahi hai barq-e-tabassum phul se nazuk honton par
jaaniye kis ki maut aai hai kis ka muqaddar phut gaya

kaun tha ye bimar-e-mohabbat jis ki baalin par aa kar
husn bhi dariya dariya roya ishq bhi sina kut gaya

teri bhi taswir thi us mein is ka mujh ko rona hai
warna dil ki hasti kya hai shisha tha so tut gaya

sail-e-mohabbat ke tha muqabil dil ka habab-e-nazuk bhi
lekin ye ab yaad nahin hai kab ubhra kab phut gaya

ishq ne kaisi aafat dhai sab maikhane khali hain
kaun-o-makan ki sari masti un aankhon mein kut gaya

aah-e-mohabbat ka rishta tha nazuk se bhi nazuk-tar
ab is ko kis tarah se joden tut gaya so tut gaya

awwal awwal zauq-e-mohabbat tha masti-e-be-payan
aakhir aakhir waqt wo aaya sahr-e-mohabbat tut gaya

naz meri sarmasti ko kya kya tha sharab-o-saqi par
us ki aankhon ko jo dekha hath se saghar chhut gaya

raat kisi ki bazm mein go bedar tha main hushyar tha main
lekin koi aankh bacha kar dil ki basti lut gaya
