wo khayal-e-muhaal kis ka tha
aaina be-misal kis ka tha

safari apne aap se tha main
hijr kis ka visal kis ka tha

main to khud mein kahin na tha maujud
mere lab par sawal kis ka tha

thi meri zat ek khayal-ashob
jaane main ham-khayal kis ka tha

jab ki main har-nafas tha be-ahwal
wo jo tha mera haal kis ka tha

dopahar baad-e-tund kucha-e-yar
wo ghubar-e-malal kis ka tha
