lamhe shab-e-visal ke sarf-e-visal ho gae
us ko bhi nind aa gai hum bhi nidhaal ho gae

kaise hasin log the kaisi hasin mahfilen
wo jo khayal-o-khwab the khwab-o-khayal ho gae

main bhi tha rashk-e-aina tum bhi the rashk-e-aina
main bhi sifal ho gaya tum bhi sifal ho gae

mujh ko thi un ki zat se aisi musabqat ki bas
jab main bana misal to wo be-misal ho gae

chashm wo naz-afrin khul ke baras paden kahin
hum se kai nihaal-e-gham phir se nihaal ho gae

baalon mein barf thi yahan khwahish bhi sard thi yahan
us ne jo aanch di to hum shoala-khisal ho gae

gutthi hai utni gunjlak asrar-e-kaenat ki
jitne mere jawab the sare sawal ho gae

kaya-kalap hui hai yun gurgan-e-dasht-e-sus ki
girya-kunan jamal-ju zohra-jamal ho gae
