raqsan sharar-e-dil teri mauj-e-sukhan se tha
tanhai mein ye qurb teri anjuman se tha

mera sukhan hi tha mera sarmaya-e-hayat
phir main hua shahid bhi apne sukhan se tha

danishwari ka zahr na tha mujh pe kargar
mere libas-e-khas khirad ke kafan se tha

lutne se bhi siwa tha shikast-e-yaqin ka gham
shab-khun ka ehtimal to tha rahzan se tha

the yar-e-tez-gam bhi jada-shanas bhi
rukh un ka jo bhi tha wo hawa ke chalan se tha

un se bichhad ke hun koi aawara ruh main
goya mera wajud unhin ke badan se tha

gulchin-o-baghban hi nahin waris-e-chaman
murghan-e-naghma-khwan ka bhi rishta chaman se tha
