teri takhliq tera rang hawala tha mera
kaun kahta hai ki andaz nirala tha mera

main jahan par tha wahin tu tha mere aaina-gar
teri taswiron se bharpur risala tha mera

chahta tha main dua mangta par kya karta
mere hathon mein to labrez piyala tha mera

mujhe pahle kai sadiyon ki saza katna thi
manzil-e-subh se kuchh dur ujala tha mera

main use bhul gaya taki use yaad na aaun
kitna mahbub mujhe bhulne wala tha mera

hun tahi-dast magar minnat-e-kashkol nahin
mohr-e-taskin mujhe hath ka chhaala tha mera

zahr pite hue khamosh hi rahna tha mujhe
shakh-e-taslim se gul-posh piyala tha mera

dusri zindagi dene ki zarurat hi na thi
har nai shakl ki surat mein izala tha mera

ye jo duniya mein sar-e-mauj-e-hawa likkha hai
mere yaron ne kabhi nam uchhaala tha mera
