zaban-e-ghair se kya sharh-e-arzu karte
wo khud agar kahin milta to guftugu karte

wo zakhm jis ko kiya nok-e-aftab se chaak
usi ko sozan-e-mahtab se rafu karte

sawad-e-dil mein lahu ka suragh bhi na mila
kise imam banate kahan wazu karte

wo ek tilism tha qurbat mein us ke umr kati
gale laga ke use us ki aarzu karte

halaf uthae hain majburiyon ne jis ke liye
use bhi log kisi roz qibla-ru karte

junun ke sath bhi rasmen khirad ke sath bhi qaid
kise rafiq banate kise adu karte

hijab utha diye khud hi nigar-khanon ne
hamein dimagh kahan tha ki aarzu karte
