qayam mein bhi kisi rah par rawana tha
mera mizaj azal se musafirana tha

pada tha us ke bhi rukh par naqab-e-na-maujud
meri bhi aankh pe ek dast-e-ghaebana tha

hum apni ruh tere jism hi mein chhod aae
tujhe gale se lagana to ek bahana tha

tere husul ki bazi bhi kitni mushkil thi
idhar main yakka-o-tanha udhar zamana tha

main us ko dekhta rahta tha us ki aankhon se
khayal-o-khwab ka mausam bada suhana tha
