ishq ne hum ko junun-asar aisa kar diya
basta-e-sahil bhi rakkha aur dariya kar diya

is gulistan-e-guman mein hum bhi the manind-e-khwab
garmi-e-andesha ne hum ko bhi sahra kar diya

dida-e-khush-bin ki ye eajaz-farmai to dekh
kaise mubham khal-o-khat ko ek chehra kar diya

ye jahan pinhan tha ek be-manzari ki khak mein
hum ne chashm-e-shauq se dekha to duniya kar diya

ruashni-e-taba ne raushan kiya hai ek jahan
aur mujhe is aaina-khane mein tanha kar diya

jab kabhi shab-zad lamhe gherne aae hamein
hum ne sham-e-jaan jalai aur sawera kar diya

ye karamat bhi ajab us ki masihai mein hai
jo ba-zahir bhar diya wo zakhm gahra kar diya

muntazir tha waqt so hum ne ba-andaz-e-sukhan
aarzu ka ek jahan-e-taza paida kar diya
