mulaqaton ka aisa silsila rakkha hai tum ne
badan kya ruh mein bhi rat-jaga rakkha hai tum ne

koi aasan nahin tha zindagi se kat ke jina
bahut mushkil dinon mein rabta rakkha hai tum ne

hum aise milne walon ko kahan us ki khabar thi
na milne ka bhi koi rasta rakkha hai tum ne

junun ki haalaton ka hum ko andaza nahin tha
diye ki shah pe suraj ko bujha rakkha hai tum ne

hawa ko habs karna ho to koi tum se sikhe
dariche band darwaza khula rakkha hai tum ne

ab aisa hai ki duniya se ulajhte phir rahe hain
ajab kaifiyaton mein mubtila rakkha hai tum ne

khizan jaise hare pedon ko ruswa kar rahi hai
suluk aisa hi kuchh hum se rawa rakkha hai tum ne

rihai ke liye zanjir pahnai gai thi
asiri ke liye pahra utha rakkha hai tum ne

burida aks larzan hain lahu ki wahshaton mein
ye kaisa aaina-khana saja rakkha hai tum ne

jahan kirdar gunge dekhne wale hain andhe
isi manzar se to parda hata rakkha hai tum ne

mohabbat karne wale ab kahan ja kar milenge
guzargahon ko to maqtal bana rakkha hai tum ne
