tere baad is jahan mein koi dusra nahin tha
are be-misal tujh sa koi bewafa nahin tha

mera dubta safina kahun kaise par utra
mere sath ek khuda tha koi na-khuda nahin tha

tere ishq ke talatum ne dubo diya hai warna
to ai mauj-e-reg main bhi koi bulbula nahin tha

to thithurti sardiyon mein kabhi aag lene aati
main jigar jalae rakhta koi dil-jala nahin tha

wo misal-e-khwab-e-manzar na lage palak palak se
koi khwab phir na jage mujhe ye pata nahin tha

tere is mariz-e-dil tak tu kabhi pahunch na pai
tu ye baat so chhupae main kahin chhupa nahin tha

main tamam hosh kho kar tere dar pe jaan se jata
tere ghar ke raston mein kahin mai-kada nahin tha
