kuchh talluq bhi nahin rasm-e-jahan se aage
us se rishta bhi raha wahm o guman se aage

le ke pahunchi hai kahan sim-badan ki khwahish
kuchh ilaqa na raha sud-o-ziyan se aage

khwab-zaron mein wo chehra hai numu ki surat
aur ek fasl ugi rishta-e-jaan se aage

kab talak apni hi sanson ka chukata rahun qarz
ai meri aankh koi khwab dhuan se aage

shakh-e-ehsas pe khilte rahe zakhmon ke gulab
kis ne mahsus kiya shorish-e-jaan se aage

jab bhi bol utthenge tanhai mein likkhe hue harf
phailte jaenge naqus o azan se aage

jis ki kirnon se ujala hai lahu mein 'ajmal'
jal raha hai wo diya kahkashan se aage
