khwab ko nind ki sarhad pe rakha jata hai
tab kahin ja ke tera wasl buna jata hai

dil utar jata hai nazron se sar-e-sham kahin
phir udasi ko khayalon mein bhara jata hai

canwas dard se ho jata hai chhalni-chhalni
jab tere hijr ko taswir kiya jata hai

ek virani si ug padti hai mere andar
ek la-shakl ko imkan diya jata hai

muttasil hoga bhala kaise tere dukh se khala
kab kisi karb ko wahshat se siya jata hai

log aaenge dua lene lahad par 'haaris'
main bata jaunga yun ishq kiya jata hai
