jabin-e-sang pe likkha mera fasana gaya
main rahguzar tha mujhe raund kar zamana gaya

naqab odh ke aae the raat ke qazzaq
pighalti sham se sab dhup ka khazana gaya

kise khabar wo rawana bhi ho saka ki nahin
tumhaare shahr se jab us ka aab-o-dana gaya

wo chal diya to nigahon se ki dilon se ghurur
labon se zahr hawaon se taziyana gaya

ye jaanta hun ki tu ne liya tha rok use
magar wo aatishin aansu mujhe jala na gaya

main ek dolta sagar mujhe uthata kaun
ghata utha ke chali thi magar chala na gaya

kahan gaya main bichhad kar kise khabar hogi
jo ek bar yahan se hua rawana gaya
