tanhaiyon ke dasht mein akasr mila mujhe
wo shakhs jis ne kar diya mujh se juda mujhe

waraftagi meri hai ki hai intiha-e-shauq
us ki gali ko le gaya har rasta mujhe

jaise ho koi chehra naya us ke ru-ba-ru
yun dekhta raha mera har aashna mujhe

harf-e-ghalat samajh ke jo mujh ko mita gaya
us jaisa us ke baad na koi laga mujhe

pahle hi mujh pe kam nahin teri inayaten
dam lene de ai gardish-e-dauran zara mujhe

mushkil mujhe dubna kinare pe bhi na tha
nahaq bhanwar mein laya mera nakhuda mujhe

ye zindagi ki maut bhi hai jis pe nauha-khwan
kis jurm ki na jaane mili hai saza mujhe
