ku-e-ruswai se uth kar dar tak tanha gaya
mujh se jite-ji na daman khwab ka chhoda gaya

kya bisat-e-khar-o-khas thi phir bhi yun shab-bhar jale
dosh par baad-e-sahar ke dur tak shoala gaya

ruh ka lamba safar hai ek bhi insan ka qurb
main chala barson to un tak jism ka saya gaya

kis ko be-gard-e-masafat shauq ki manzil mili
naghma-gar ki khalwaton tak bar-ha naghma gaya

kaun mujh ko dhundhta tha kuchh pata chalta nahin
bazm-e-khuban mein hazaron bar main aaya gaya

hum wo shaer ki sunate hain surud-e-jaan 'hasan'
ek bhi shoala-nafas mahfil mein gar dekha gaya

mil gae jab nira-dishwar dasht-e-ghurbat mein 'naim'
ek naya rishta azimabaad se joda gaya
