sabab nahin tha koi yun to apne rone ka
hua tha shauq magar aastin bhigone ka

ye kis khayal mein din-raat ab guzarte hain
na jagne ka koi waqt hai na sone ka

hum apne aap ko pane mein is qadar gum the
hamein mila hi nahin waqt us ko khone ka

wo mauj-e-tund bhi dariya ki tah mein dub gai
jise tha shauq bahut kashtiyan dubone ka

bas ek lams ki shahid to meri hasti hai
ajab surur tha mitti tere khilaune ka
