kisi ke hijr mein shab bhar udas rahna hai
so mujh ko subh talak mahw-e-yas rahna hai

ye haal hai ki teri did ko tarasta hun
main sochta tha mujhe tere pas rahna hai

tumhaare lakh dilase bhi raegan honge
us ek shakhs ko ta-umr udas rahna hai

ye zist tere sitam ki rahin hai jaanan
tere firaq ko is ki asas rahna hai

so bazm-e-yar mein ja kar ghazal sunaenge
nigah-e-naz mein hum ko to khas rahna hai

ye aur baat ki dariya se dosti hai meri
likha hua meri qismat mein pyas rahna hai

junun-e-ishq mein beja hai fikr-e-uryani
khayal-e-yar ko mera libas rahna hai
