raat ye kaun mere khwab mein aaya hua tha
subh mein wadi-e-shadab mein aaya hua tha

ek parinde ki tarah ud gaya kuchh der hui
aks us shakhs ka talab mein aaya hua tha

main bhi us ke liye baitha raha chhat par shab bhar
wo bhi mere liye mahtab mein aaya hua tha

sard khitte mein sulagta hua jangal tha badan
aag se nikla to barfab mein aaya hua tha

ye to sad-shukr khayalon ne tere khinch liya
main to haalat ke girdab mein aaya hua tha

yaad hain dil ko mohabbat ke shab-o-roz 'hasan'
ganw jaise koi sailab mein aaya hua tha
