wafa ki rah mein kis ka ye naqsh-e-pa nikla
jabin-e-shauq tera aaj hausla nikla

sukut-e-akhir-e-shab aur fasurdagi dil ki
bujha bujha sa teri yaad ka diya nikla

kami thi kuchh teri bazm-e-tarab mein kya saqi
ki jura jura bhala kis ka hausla nikla

kabhi baraste the lal-o-guhar isi ghar mein
isi makan se magar kasa-e-gada nikla

kathin thi rah-e-wafa dur manzil-e-jaanan
qadam badhae to lamhon ka fasla nikla

mera fasana to har ahd ka fasana hai
ki lafz lafz mohabbat ka majra nikla
