khuli jo aankh to sadiyon ka fasla nikla
mere wajud mein ek shakhs dusra nikla

ajab na tha mujhe sahra ki dhup kha jati
qadam badhae junun ne to rasta nikla

khabar nahin ki wo aashob-e-waqt kaisa tha
har ek aankh mein barson ka ratjaga nikla

firaq-e-subh mein wo aankh jal rahi thi magar
bujha hua dar-e-hijran pe ek diya nikla

ghazab ki aag dahakne lagi hai sinon mein
ye kaun dhup mein le kar ke aaina nikla

har ek phul ne jhuk kar tujhe salami di
jo sehn-e-gul mein kabhi tera tazkira nikla

palak jhapakte hi duniya badal gai 'saghar'
ki mera saya bhi mujh se gurez-pa nikla
