qafila yaad ka jis waqt rawan hota hai
wahi lamha teri furqat mein giran hota hai

un se jab haal-e-dil-e-zar bayan hota hai
apna har ashk rawan apni zaban hota hai

'aql ka hota hai ya dil ka ziyan hota hai
hosh ye ahl-e-mohabbat ko kahan hota hai

sho'la-e-ariz-e-taban ne jalaya jab se
mujh ko phulon pe shararon ka guman hota hai

jis qadar badhti hai dushwari-e-manzil apni
hausla aur buland aur jawan hota hai

dair ho kaba ho mai-khana ho sab par hum ko
aap ke naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa ka guman hota hai

nam jab leta hai 'tanwir' jigar ka koi
lab pe har rind ke ya-pir-e-mughan hota hai
