jazbaat ke qisse hain hunar lafz-gari hai
diwane ko khairaat tere gham se mili hai

palkon pe sajai hai jo ashkon ki ladi hai
ek bhuli hui yaad ki taswir bani hai

ai rahat-e-jaan raaz ye malum hai hum ko
ek tere siwa jo bhi yahan shai hai buri hai

khamoshi hai ab meri samaat ka taqaza
pael ki khanak kan pe zanjir-zani hai

madhoshi ka aalam hai use wahm-o-guman mein
wahshat mein kise chaak-e-gareban ki padi hai

dil zabt ki aatish mein jalaya hai musalsal
patthar bhi pighal jae wo lafzon mein nami hai
