kya kya nazar ko shauq-e-hawas dekhne mein tha
dekha to har jamal isi aaine mein tha

qulzum ne badh ke chum liye phul se qadam
dariya-e-rang-o-nur abhi raste mein tha

ek mauj-e-khun-e-khalq thi kis ki jabin pe thi
ek tauq-e-fard-e-jurm tha kis ke gale mein tha

ek rishta-e-wafa tha so kis na-shanas se
ek dard hirz-e-jaan tha so kis ke sile mein tha

sahba-e-tund-o-tez ki hiddat ko kya khabar
shishe se puchhiye jo maza tutne mein tha

kya kya rahe hain harf o hikayat ke silsile
wo kam-sukhan nahin tha magar dekhne mein tha

taib the ehtisab se jab sare baada-kash
mujh ko ye iftikhar ki main mai-kade mein tha
