khafa se lag rahe ho kuchh hua kya
tumhein bhi hai kisi se kuchh gila kya

jhuki nazren ab uthti hi nahin hain
koi unwan dil mein hai chhupa kya

nigah-e-khishmagin lab pe tabassum
niyaz-o-naz ka hai silsila kya

nigahon ka ye shaista takallum
khamoshi ko mili tarz-e-ada kya

usi ka zikr hai sab ki zaban par
wo aisa ho gaya hai dilruba kya

ba-juz teri talab ke is jahan mein
hamari aarzu kya muddaa kya

jidhar dekho wahi jalwa-numa hai
yahi shayad hai irfan-e-khuda kya

umandte hi chale aate hain aansu
kisi ne pursish-e-gham kar diya kya

dam-e-rukhsat hai aao pas baitho
duaen do hamein tum ab dawa kya

'tarab' sahab kahan bazm-e-sukhan mein
ghazal kahna tumhein bhi aa gaya kya
