jalta hua jo chhod gaya taq par mujhe
dekha na is ne lut ke pichhle pahar mujhe

wahshat se tha nawazna itna agar mujhe
sahra diya hai kyun faqat aafaq bhar mujhe

main gunjta tha harf mein dhalne se peshtar
ghera hai ab sukut ne auraq par mujhe

sham-o-sahar ki gardishen bhi dekhni to hain
ab chaak se utar mere kuza-gar mujhe

darya-e-maug-khez bhi jis par sawar tha
hona pada sawar usi naw par mujhe

mujh mein tadap raha hai koi chashma-e-sukut
zarb-e-asa se dekh kabhi tod kar mujhe

pahuncha kidhar yahan na zamin hai na aasman
ab kaun si masafaten karni hain sar mujhe

the ganj-e-be-qayas tah-e-qulzum-e-wajud
duba jo main to mil gae lal-o-guhar mujhe

jo la sake na tab hi mere junun ki
is dasht-e-kam-sawad mein dakhil na kar mujhe

shayad hata hai ghaib ka parda 'rafiq-raaz'
aata hai nakhl-e-ab pe shoala nazar mujhe
