un ki surat jahan nazar aai
dil ki har chot phir ubhar aai

mit ke hum un se haal kya kahte
pursish-e-gham pe aankh bhar aai

dil thaharta na tha magar thahra
maut aati na thi magar aai

khud ko main dhundne laga us dam
un ke aane ki jab khabar aai

din to furqat ka kat gaya lekin
raat aai to be-sahar aai

mujh ko dil se bhulane baithe hain
kya karenge wo yaad agar aai

wo jo aae to mujh ko hosh aaya
dil-e-gum-gashta ki khabar aai

bhul kar tum kidhar ye aa nikle
eid ye aaj kis ke ghar aai

tum chhute jab se meri duniya mein
sham aai na phir sahar aai

kitni bebak hai mohabbat bhi
aankh milte hi dil mein dar aai

un ko aana tha wo nahin aae
yaad aani thi umr-bhar aai

chaak karna pada gareban ko
baat banti na jab nazar aai

gham ko tala bahut magar 'sahir'
ye bala ishq hi ke sar aai
