na khushi mujhe hi hai wasl ki na hi hijr ka bhi malal hai
main hun kaun zat hai kya meri yahi mukhtasar sa sawal hai

na safar hai ye jise chahun main ki ye khatm ho bina tere hi
tu hai ham-safar to hai thik phir nahin to safar ye muhaal hai

ye dhuan kahan se hai uth raha kahin aag to hai lagi nahin
to kyun jal rahe yahan sab magar yahi shartiya wo sawal hai

tu hai yun chhupa teri zulf mein ki ho mah chhup gaya abr mein
mera aarzu tu hi hai sanam tera alhada sa jamal hai

jabhi baghban hai ye kah raha ki hai thik sab yahan bagh mein
to phir amn bagh mein kyun nahin bhala kaun sa ye wabaal hai
