main kai barson se teri justuju karti rahi
is safar mein aarzuon ka lahu karti rahi

kya khabar tujh ko guzari kaise main ne sham-e-gham
aansuon ka pani le kar main wuzu karti rahi

jab teri yaadon ne mujh ko nim pagal kar diya
main teri taswir se hi guftugu karti rahi

kis tarah apni tamannaon ka main karti shumar
bas tujhe pane ki har-dam aarzu karti rahi

dil ke darwaze pe jab bhi yaad ki dastak hui
main tasawwur mein jigar apna rafu karti rahi

dil ki dhadkan kah rahi hai tu achanak aaega
khud ko din-bhar aaine ke ru-ba-ru karti rahi

sochna bhi mat kabhi tujh ko bhula degi 'iram'
wasl ki khwahish har ek lamha numu karti rahi
