wo jo shairi ka sabab hua
meri zindagi ka sabab hua

jise dekh dekh sukun mila
wahi be-kali ka sabab hua

kabhi wajh tha wo guman ki
kabhi aagahi ka sabab hua

shab-e-hijr tera khayal bhi
badi raushni ka sabab hua

mere dil ka tutna phutna
teri dil-lagi ka sabab hua

jise shairi se shaghaf na tha
wahi shairi ka sabab hua
