sambhal kar aah bharna ai asir-e-dam-e-tanhai
kahin hathon se chhut jae na daman-e-shakebai

ajab andaz rakhti hai ada-e-dasht-paimai
ki khud hi khar badh kar chumte hain pa-e-saudai

jo rang-e-husn-e-khamoshi hai wo khoti hai goyai
hua jab lab-kusha ghuncha to bahar bu nikal aai

abhi to bas tasawwur hai tumhaare aastane ka
abhi dekha kahan tum ne mera zauq-e-jabin-sai

kuchh is andaz se chheda nigah-e-naz-e-jaanan ne
ki rah rah kar hamare dil ke zakhmon ko hansi aai

rahe inkar mein iqrar ka eajaz bhi pinhan
karo khun-e-wafa lekin ba-andaz-e-masihai

araq-agin jabin insaniyat ki ho gai 'jumbish'
ki daur aaya hai wo sharm-o-haya ki aankh bhar aai
