jab tak mujhe khayal tere aastan ka tha
rishta koi chaman se na gham aashiyan ka tha

kuchh khauf baghban ka na barq-e-tapan ka tha
jab tak meri nazar mein saman gulsitan ka tha

didar-e-zul-jalal pe aamada ho gaya
kya hausla nigah-e-dil-e-na-tawan ka tha

le kar kahan kahan phira sail-e-junun mujhe
pahunchi wahin pe khak thikana jahan ka tha

uth kar chale to aae teri bazm se magar
naqsha nazar ke samne haft-asman ka tha

turbat mein bhi na sone diya chain se mujhe
saya meri zamin pe kis aasman ka tha

ek chehra-e-karakht ne chaunka diya mujhe
dekha jo ghaur se to kisi mehrban ka tha

kuchh soch kar jo 'shaikh' ji khamosh ho gae
samjhe sabhi qusur usi be-zaban ka tha
