tumhaare sine mein dil ke jaisa jo ek patthar dhadak raha hai
wo ek patthar na jaane kitne dilon ka markaz bana hua hai

ye chand se bhi hasin-tar hai jo chand jaisa chamak raha hai
firaq ki shab mein aasman par tumhaara chehra tanga hua hai

dil-e-shikasta ke hauslon ne har ek manzil ko sar kiya hai
tumhaare dar tak bhi aan pahunche par is se aage bhi rasta hai

sadak pe baithe hue qalandar ke sar pade hain sawal kitne
zamana us se jo puchhta hai wo us ne mujh ko bata diya hai

tumhaari mahfil mein aane wale unhi mohabbat ke dushmanon ne
tumhaara mera jo waqia tha use fasana bana rakha hai

khulus-e-yaran ki qadr lekin khulus-e-yaran ka faeda kya
main in dilason ka kya karunga ki dard mera bahut bada hai

tumhaari yaadon ke chadhte dariya ko khushk-sali se kya talluq
tumhaari yaadon ka chadhta dariya har ek mausam mein bah raha hai
