mujhe apne bairun ki justuju thi
ki wo aankh se apni dekha tha main ne

jazaer
wo sab rekhta na-rasida jazaer

khalaon mein bikhre gire
zist-asar ke shaebe jin mein the

ab meri justuju ya hawas ka
hadaf ban gae the

main un ki tamanna liye
dilkash o mast rahon mein

ek umr ghuma kiya
mah-o-anjum ko chuma kya

aur kal sham
baad-az-safar

ba-hazaran zafar
apne bairun ki dastyabi ke

jashn-e-tarab mein
main jab shadman tha

yakayak nigah
andarun ki taraf mud gai

ek shikast-e-ajab zat se jud gai
