main tha aawara-o-barjasta-khiram
auraq-e-bandagi us ki panah

nama-e-ishq tha rishton ka jawaz
barq-rau mein bhi tha kuchh wo bhi raha

ishq-e-ehsas-e-junun ke aasar
kuchh ajab tarah bane naqsh-o-nigar

fart-e-jazbaat se
is darja rahe hum larzan

tisri quwwat-e-waswas kahan se aai
aur

phir tut gaya
larza-bar-andam talluq ka pul

sabz armanon pe
wo os padi mat puchho

ab to wo
sahn-e-takhayyul bhi hai muddat se udas

gahe gahe
kisi pahlu-e-falak mein jaanan

kuchh chaman-zar mahak uthte hain
aur

aati hai sada-e-bulbul
ishq wo os ka qatra hai

jis ke padte hi
tut jati hai surahi gul ki
