jab bhi aankhon mein teri rukhsat ka manzar aa gaya
aaftab-e-waqt neze ke barabar aa gaya

dosti ki jab duhai di to sharq-o-gharb se
hath mein patthar liye yaron ka lashkar aa gaya

is safar mein go tamazat to bahut thi hijr ki
main teri yaadon ki chhanw sar pe le kar aa gaya

go zamin-o-asman masruf-e-gardish hain magar
jab bhi gardish ka sabab socha to chakkar aa gaya

aadmi ko hashr ke manzar nazar aane lage
us ke qabze mein jab ek zarre ka jauhar aa gaya

husn-e-insan dafn ho jaane se mitta hai kahan
phul ban kar khak ke parde se bahar aa gaya

ashk jab tapke kisi bekas ki aankhon se 'nadim'
yun laga tufan ki zad mein samundar aa gaya
