shajar aangan ka jab suraj se larzan hone lagta tha
koi saya mere ghar ka nigahban hone lagta tha

tasalli dene lagti thin mujhe juz-bandiyan us ki
main jab ek ek waraq ho kar pareshan hone lagta tha

sahar jis ki munajaton se thi raaten tahajjud se
main us ki pak sohbat mein musalman hone lagta tha

dua padh kar meri man jab mere sine pe dam karti
aqidat ke andheron mein charaghan hone lagta tha

purane ped phir taza phalon se ladne lagte the
gae mausam se dil jab bhi gurezan hone lagta tha

chunauti dene lagti thin nai dushwariyan mujh ko
safar jab zindagi ka mujh pe aasan hone lagta tha

bataun kya ki kaisa ba-murawwat shakhs tha wo bhi
mujhe ilzam de kar khud pasheman hone lagta tha
