ishq mein tha jo kabhi aaj wo eajaz kahan
husn mein pahla sa wo naz wo andaz kahan

zindagi khak ke ek dher mein tabdil hui
kho gai tair-e-rangin teri parwaz kahan

chand ki wadi-e-khush-rang se jo aati thi
aaj wo nur mein dubi hui aawaz kahan

ek ek kar ke sabhi rauzan-o-dar band hue
dastaken dun main kahan koi bhi dar baz kahan

ret mein gharq hui mere junun ki kashti
aaj sahra ko bhi hasil koi eazaz kahan

sab bayan kar diya aankhon ki nami ne 'sahil'
us se poshida hai ab mera koi raaz kahan
