rakkha nahin ghurbat ne kisi ek ka bharam bhi
mai-khana bhi viran hai kalisa bhi haram bhi

luta hai zamane ne mera besh bhi kam bhi
chhina tha tujhe chhin liya hai tera gham bhi

be-ab hua ab to mera dida-e-nam bhi
ai gardish-e-alam tu kisi mod pe tham bhi

sun ai but-e-jaan-dar but-e-simbar ai sun
tode na gae hum se to patthar ke sanam bhi

main wasl ki bhi kar na saka shiddat-e-gham kam
aaya na kisi kaam tere hijr ka sam bhi

diwar-e-sukun baith gai shiddat-e-nam se
barsa hai mere ghar pe agar abr-e-karam bhi

tanhai na puchh apni ki sath ahl-e-junun ke
chalte hain faqat chand qadam rah ke kham bhi

sahra-e-gham-e-jaan mein bagulon se bacha kaun
mit jaenge ai dost tere naqsh-e-qadam bhi

sunte hain chamakta hai wo chand ab bhi sar-e-baam
hasrat hai ki bas ek nazar dekh len hum bhi
