masafat-e-shab-e-hijran tawil likhte rahe
mile jo dard unhen sang-e-mil likhte rahe

hikayaten hi nahin likkhin aag ki hum ne
haqiqaten bhi ba-rang-e-khalil likhte rahe

jo qalb-o-jaan mein hai khushbu kisi ki zulfon ki
usi ko apni mata-e-jalil likhte rahe

rahi ye aas ki sairab hogi kisht-e-hayat
so jauhadon ko bhi dariya-e-nil likhte rahe

nikal saki na wahan ek bund bhi 'fakhir'
tamam-umr jin aankhon ko jhil likhte rahe
