khamoshi guftugu hai be-zabani hai zaban us ki
main samjha tha ki mujh se mukhtalif hai dastan us ki

mere har samt phaili chandni hai ya hisar us ka
mera ehsas hai ya raqs mein parchhaiyan us ki

main khud ko jaise apne pas hi mahsus karta hun
mere alfaz mein ras gholti hain shokhiyan us ki

kahan meri tarah sab ko mila zakhmon ka pairahan
yun kahne ko to sab par hai nigah-e-mehrban us ki

shikast-e-shisha-e-dil ki sada pahron sunai de
agar ek bar uth jae nigah-e-mehrban us ki

sawera ho gaya shayad rihai mil gai us ko
dar-e-zindan pe koi rakh gaya hai bediyan us ki

hare mausam mein manzar be-libasi ka kahan mumkin
magar turfa hunar ye jaanti hain aandhiyan us ki
