teri yaadon ki ye bakhshi hui alhad khushbu
dil ke virane mein is tarah se dar aati hai

jaise bosida maqabir mein ujale ki kiran
tod kar halqa-e-zulmat ko lahraati hai

tujh se pahle bhi kisi ajnabi rahi ne yahan
dil-e-betab ko khushbu ka sitam bakhsha tha

phul se honton ne zakhmon ke dahan khole the
nim-khwabida nigahon ne wo gham bakhsha tha

aaj tak jis ko liye gardish-e-lamhat ke sath
rah-guzaron pe bhatakta hun bagulon ki tarah

is tamanna mein ki kat jaegi ye dard ki raat
sochta hun tere masum tabassum ki kiran

ban bhi sakti hai kabhi aakhir-e-shab ka paigham
