sun! hijr aur visal ka jadu kahan gaya
main to kahin nahin tha magar tu kahan gaya

jab khema-e-khayal mein taswir hai wahi
wo dasht-e-na-murad wo aahu kahan gaya

bistar pe gir rahi hai siyah aasman se rakh
wo chandni kahan hai wo mah-ru kahan gaya

jis ke baghair ji nahin sakte the ja chuka
par dil se dard aankh se aansu kahan gaya

phir khak ud rahi hai makan-e-wajud mein
ai jaan-e-be-qarar wo dil-ju kahan gaya
