kya khabar thi ye tere phul se bhi nazuk hont
zahr mein dubenge kumhlaenge murjhaenge

kis ko malum tha ye hashr teri aankhon ka
nur ke sote bhi tariki mein kho jaenge

teri khamosh wafaon ka sila kya hoga
mere na-karda gunahon ki saza kya hogi

qahqahe honge ki ashkon ki tarannum-rezi
dil-e-wahshi tere jine ki ada kya hogi

koi uljha hua naghma koi suljha hua git
kaun jaane lab-e-shaer ki nawa kya hogi

han magar dil hai ki dhadke hi chala jata hai
is se badh kar koi tauhin-e-wafa kya hogi

aur ye shor garajte hue tufanon ka
ek sailab sisakte hue insanon ka

har taraf saikdon bal khati dhuwen ki lahren
har taraf dher jhulaste hue armanon ka

zindagi aur bhi kuchh khwar hui jati hai
ab to jo sans hai aazar hui jati hai
