muddat hui tufan-e-bala-KHez ko guzre

muddat hui tufan-e-bala-khez ko guzre
kuchh log hain ab tak jo nikalte nahin ghar se
sun kar meri diwangi-e-'ishq ke charche
ye 'aql ke bande mere hamrah na thahre


hun khaufzada tirgi-e-zehn se ghar mein
aur ghar se nikalta hun to daste hain ujale
ye tishnagi ban jae na hangame ka ba'is
baithe hain qadah-khwar badi der se pyase


ai ahl-e-jahan tum se masihai na hogi
ye zakhm na bhar paenge ye zakhm hain gahre
dar hai ki na ban jao kahin khud hi tamasha
hum ahl-e-mohabbat ke na tum dekho tamashe


ye 'ishq to khuddar banata hai bashar ko
'basit' wo nahin 'ishq jo pindar mita de
