tu bhi rukhsat ho raha hai dhup bhi dhalne ko hai
mere andar ek charagh-e-sham-e-gham jalne ko hai

kab talak is hijr mein aakhir ko rona chahiye
aankh bhi khun ho gai daman bhi ab galne ko hai

gulsitan mein pad gai hai rasm-e-tajsim-e-bahaar
apne chehre par har ek gul khun-e-dil malne ko hai

ajnabi si sarzamin na-ashna se log hain
ek suraj tha shanasa wo bhi ab dhalne ko hai

har nai manzil ki jaanib surat-e-abr-e-rawan
mere hathon se nikal kar mera dil chalne ko hai

shahr par tufan se pahle ka sannata hai aaj
hadisa hone ko hai ya saneha talne ko hai

ek hawa-e-tund aur hamrah kuchh chingariyan
khak si udne ko hai aur aag si jalne ko hai

samne hai nind ki lambi masafat aaj shab
karwan-e-anjum-o-mahtab bhi chalne ko hai
