mujhe bhul jaane wale mere dil ki kuchh khabar bhi
meri aankh par na jaana ye to khushk bhi hai tar bhi

ye qadam ruke ruke se ye jhuka jhuka sa sar bhi
yahin un ka naqsh-e-pa hai yahi un ki rahguzar bhi

falak-ashna sahi hum magar ehtiyat lazim
ki qafas mein le na jae ye mazaq-e-baal-o-par bhi

bade shauq se hue the yun haram ko hum rawana
ye khabar na thi ki rah mein hai tumhaara sang-e-dar bhi

ho daraaz umr yarab mere shaikh-o-barahman ki
kahin khatm ho na jae ye jahan-e-khair-o-shar bhi

na badal rahi hain ghadiyan na sitare dubte hain
kahin thak ke so gai hai shab-e-hijr ki sahar bhi
