yun hujra-e-khayal mein baitha hua hun main
goya mera wajud nahin wahima hun mein

phaila hai jab se ghar mein samundar sukut ka
be-chaargi ki chhat pe khada chikhta hun main

dekho meri jabin pe mere ahd ke nuqush
rakkho mujhe sambhaal ke ek aaina hun main

ab tak shab-e-qayam ka ek silsila bhi tha
ab aaftab ban ke safar par chala hun main

khud se to ru-shanas abhi tak na ho saka
ye ittifaq hai ki jo tum se mila hun main
