khwab yun hi nahin hote pure
jaan-o-tan lagte hain pure pure

ras aaegi mohabbat us ko
jis se hote nahin wade pure

chhod aae tere hisse ke dost
hum ne manzar nahin dekhe pure

guftugu hosh-ruba hai us ki
us ki baaten hain sahife pure

hijr aur raat taqabul mein hain
ashk pure ki sitare pure

yaad hun aadha sa khud ko 'ahmad'
naqsh aaine mein kab the pure
