kahta hun main ki ghair ne hargiz kaha nahin
tujh ko na ho qubul jo meri dua nahin

in paniyon kisi ko duboe na sharm-e-shauq
main aab aab us ki taraf dekhta nahin

sau rukh se chumta hai tera pairahan khayal
sab mein hun meri jaan ye mauj-e-hawa nahin

hairan khada hun wasl-e-judai ke darmiyan
main kis shumar mein hun agar aaina nahin

guzra mere darun se tu hi ba-rang-e-umr
ab jaane wo darun bhi mera tha ya nahin

chutki mahak uthi hai ye kaisi umid ki
ab tak to dastaras mein wo band-e-qaba nahin

kaam-o-dahan ko bakhsh chuka hai jo pahle nib
ab shahd sher de bhi to koi maza nahin
