safar mein ab bhi aadatan sarab dekhta hun main
qarib-e-marg zindagi ke khwab dekhta hun main

hawa ne harf-e-sada mere zehn se uda liya
to ab har ek baat par kitab dekhta hun main

bahaar ki sawariyon ke ham-rikab kyun rahe
khizan ka barg-o-bar par itab dekhta hun main

khada hun nok-e-khar par guman-dar-guman par
khulega kab haqiqaton ka bab dekhta hun main

ajib us ki sarwari nai hai shan har ghadi
banon mein shahr, shahr mein sarab dekhta hun main

nazar-fareb dhang hain sitamgaron ke rang hain
nigah mein qahr hath mein gulab dekhta hun main

ghazal se chhed-chhad ko gunah jaanta tha main
magar ab is gunah mein sawab dekhta hun main

'suhail' sham dhal gai dukan apni badh gai
zara si raushni hai aur hisab dekhta hun main
