suno ek baat 'ajib si ki na ghaib tha na huzur tha
jo tha mere dil ke qarib-tar wo meri nigah se dur tha

wo jo meri bazm se chal diye to nazar khuli ki khuli rahi
magar ek shor bapa raha ki jo shor-e-yaum-e-nushur tha

mujhe apne shauq pe naz tha ye pata chala ki fareb tha
jise main samajhta tha bandagi wo meri khata thi qusur tha

jo main haal dil ka bayan karun mujhe aisa mauqa' kahan mila
wo jo mere dil ka tha aaina wo nigah-e-naz se chur tha

mujhe dagh de ke chala gaya mere dil mein ghaw laga gaya
wo jo mere dil ka surur tha wo jo meri aankh ka nur tha
