koi sawal na kar aur koi jawab na puchh
tu mujh se ahd-e-guzashta ka ab hisab na puchh

safine kitne hue is mein gharq-e-ab na puchh
tu mere dil ke samundar ka iztirab na puchh

main kab se nind ka mara hua hun aur kab se
ye meri jagti aankhen hain mahw-e-khwab na puchh

safar mein dhup ki shiddat ne bhi sataya magar
fareb dete rahe kis qadar sarab na puchh

kabhi uruj pe tha khud pe e'timad mera
ghurub kaise hua hai ye aaftab na puchh
