safar mein ab ke ajab tajraba nikal aaya
bhatak gaya to naya rasta nikal aaya

mere hi nam ki takhti lagi thi jis dar par
wo jab khula to kisi aur ka nikal aaya

dukhon ki jhadiyan ugti chali gain dil mein
har ek jhadi se jangal ghana nikal aaya

ek aur nam juda dushmanon ke namon mein
ek aur dost mera aaina nikal aaya

kuchh aaj ashkon ki lazzat nai nai si hai
purane gham ka naya zaiqa nikal aaya

ye mera aks hai ya aur hai koi mujh mein
ki jis ka qad mere qad se bada nikal aaya

badhe kuchh is tarah donon hi dosti ki taraf
ki darmiyan mein naya fasla nikal aaya

dua salam se aage jo thodi baat badhi
jo us ka dukh tha wahi dukh mera nikal aaya

meri ghazal mein kisi bewafa ka zikr na tha
na jaane kaise tera tazkira nikal aaya
