kis tarah koi dhup mein pighle hai jale hai
ye baat wo kya jaane jo sae mein pale hai

dil dard ki bhatti mein kai bar jale hai
tab ek ghazal husn ke sanche mein dhale hai

kya dil hai ki ek sans bhi aaram na le hai
mahfil se jo nikle hai to khalwat mein jale hai

bhuli hui yaad aa ke kaleje ko male hai
jab sham guzar jae hai jab raat dhale hai

han dekh zara kya tere qadmon ke tale hai
thokar bhi wo khae hai jo itra ke chale hai
