khud apni yaad dila ke rula diya hai mujhe
wo ek shakhs ki jis ne bhula diya hai mujhe

tere karam ka saza-war main raha jab tak
gham-e-hayat ne bhi rasta diya hai mujhe

hawa-e-shauq ne teri talash mein aksar
misal-e-barg-e-shikasta uda diya hai mujhe

zara si aankh lagi thi jo apni aakhir-e-shab
hawa-e-subh ne aa kar jaga diya hai mujhe

chaman mein tu raha jab tak gulab ki surat
nasim-e-subh ne tera pata diya hai mujhe

ye apna apna muqaddar hai is ko kya kahiye
tujhe sarab to dariya bana diya hai mujhe

ba-rang-e-shisha tha pahle ab ek patthar hun
nazar se apni jo tu ne gira diya hai mujhe

khayal-o-khwab ki baaten khayal-o-khwab huin
shuur-e-zist ne jina sikha diya hai mujhe
