tujh se bahut qarib bhi tanha bhi the hamin
the aabru-e-ishq pa ruswa bhi the hamin

aankhon mein khun tha ki zamin thi lahu lahu
zanjir-e-gham pahan ke tamasha bhi the hamin

har har qadam pe ek nai diwar thi khadi
us raat ke safar mein ujala bhi the hamin

malum tha ye ishq nahin mat ka hai khel
paspa hue the hum hi hawala bhi the hamin

malum tha ki wahshaten apni bisat hain
malum tha ki sham ka tara bhi the hamin

aankhon mein khwab chubhte rahenge tamam umr
ye dard-e-la-dawa tha masiha bhi the hamin

ab yaad bhi na aao ki wada bhi tha yahi
dasht-e-bala mein wada-e-farda bhi the hamin

ai subh-e-nau-bahaar kabhi tu idhar bhi aa
ahbab jaante hain ki tujh sa bhi the hamin
