tujh se mil kar yaqin hua hai mujhe
ishq ab tak nahin hua hai mujhe

khak hi khak hai jahan dekhun
aasman bhi zamin hua hai mujhe

khun aankhon se kyon nahin tapka
dard dil ke qarin hua hai mujhe

naqs lata hai samne mere
aaina nukta-chin hua hai mujhe

ye jo ehsas-e-zindagi hai ye
shairi ke tain hua hai mujhe

main kadi dhup mein hun aur tera dhyan
saya-e-ambarin hua hai mujhe

is se pahle main khairiyat se tha
jo hua hai yahin hua hai mujhe

meri yaad-dasht kho gai 'ahmad'
kya hua kya nahin hua hai mujhe
