saliqa itna to ai shauq-e-khush-kalam aae
unhin ki baat ho lekin na un ka nam aae

khirad bhi gosh-bar-awaz-e-waqt thi lekin
payam jitne bhi aae junun ke nam aae

na chal saka koi meri nigah-e-shauq ke sath
tumhaare jalwe bhi aae to chand gam aae

na jaane husn-e-haqiqat ki jalwa-gah se kyun
fasane jitne bhi aae wo na-tamam aae

kisi ne subh sanwari kisi ne sham apni
meri nazar ke ujale sabhon ke kaam aae
