lazim hai laen dhund kar khud ko kahin se hum
kya be-niyaz ho gae duniya-o-din se hum

mahsus ho raha hai hamein tum se mil ke aaj
jaise pahunch gae hon falak pe zamin se hum

duniya-e-pur-fareb ke andaz dekh kar
dil yun bujha ki ho gae khalwat-nashin se hum

us jaan-e-arzu se mulaqat yun hui
muddat ke baad jaise mile hon hamin se hum

is husn-e-itiqad ki mearaj dekhna
ek but ko kah rahe hain khuda kis yaqin se hum

phir aa gae hain kucha-e-jaanan mein laut kar
nikle the ek tawil safar par yahin se hum

sikhe kahan se tu ne ye andaz-e-dilbari
ji chahta hai puchh len us naznin se hum

hum ko qadam qadam pe jo dete rahe fareb
rakhe hue hain aas abhi tak unhin se hum

fikr-o-nazar ko ishq ne bakhshi hain wusaten
takte hain aasman ki jaanib zamin se hum

ahl-e-nazar ke samne rakhenge ye ghazal
hasil karenge dad kisi nukta-chin se hum

jis arz-e-pak ne diya 'mahrum' ko janam
aae hain ai 'bahaar' usi sarzamin se hum
