koi surat-ashna apna na begana koi
kuchh kaho yaro ye basti hai ki virana koi

subh-dam dekha to sara bagh tha gul ki taraf
shama ke tabut par roya na parwana koi

khalwaton mein roegi chhup-chhup ke laila-e-ghazal
is bayaban mein na ab aaega diwana koi

ham-nashin khamosh diwaren bhi sunti hain yahan
raat dhal jae to phir chhedenge afsana koi
