khwab tha ya ki junun khub tha bekal mujh mein
barpa rakhta tha har ek haal mein halchal mujh mein

ye jo aankhon se chhalakti hai hama-waqt mere
rakh gaya apni nishani koi chhagal mujh mein

ye batate hain mujhe honton ke shikwe mere
aaj bhi rahti hai ladki koi pagal mujh mein

mujh ko rone hi nahin dete irade mere
kya karun dil jo dhadakta hai ye komal mujh mein

main to khamosh hun ek umr se lekin hae
shor karta hai bahut dard ka baadal mujh mein

main liye phirti hun honton pe gulistan-e-adab
is ke bar-aks hai aabaad ye jangal mujh mein

ranj-o-gham is liye is dil ke makin hain 'fahmi'
wird hota hai kisi hijr ka pal pal mujh mein
