mujh mein jo azim-tar nasha tha
mere hi lahu ka zaiqa tha

padh dale the kuchh wafa ke qisse
sahra mein sahab dhundhta tha

manzil pas-e-naqsh-e-pa thi koi
paigham ghubar pe likha tha

ab tak wo huruf jal rahe hain
aankhon ko charagh likh diya tha

aankhon ke charagh gul na hote
gul lab pe magar jo khil gaya tha
