yaad us mah-e-khubi ki jab hijr ki raat aai
aankhon mein meri us dam ashkon ki baraat aai

dil ishq ki lazzat se aagah hua jab se
jaise tan-e-murda mein ek taza hayat aai

tha dil mein irada to shikwon ka shikayat ka
jab samne wo aae honton pe na baat aai

talkhi-e-kalam us ki aashiq ki samaat tak
shirini-o-lazzat mein manind-e-sabaat aai

is khak mein milne ko khud khak hua aakhir
khak us ke qadam ki jab diwane ke hath aai

is tabish-e-jalwa se nazren jo huin khira
phir samne aankhon ke pahli si qanat aai

khalwat hai shab-e-gham ki aur mashq-e-tasawwur hai
tum se gale milne ki phir aaj ye raat aai

mail-ba-karam us ko paya jo 'faza' ek din
jo dil mein thi muddat se honton pe wo baat aai
