zindagi se yahi gila hai mujhe

qurbaton mein bhi judai ke zamane mange

jab har ek shahr balaon ka Thikana ban jae

KHud ko tere mear se ghaT kar nahin dekha

jis samt bhi dekhun nazar aata hai ki tum ho

ab kya sochen kya haalat the kis karan ye zahr piya hai

na harif-e-jaan na sharik-e-gham shab-e-intizar koi to ho

juz tere koi bhi din raat na jaane mere

ghairat-e-ishq salamat thi ana zinda thi

nazar bujhi to karishme bhi roz-o-shab ke gae

chaak-pairahani-e-gul ko saba jaanti hai

faqih-e-shahr ki majlis se kuchh bhala na hua

ye kya ki sab se bayan dil ki haalaten karni

ab aur kya kisi se marasim baDhaen hum

qurbat bhi nahin dil se utar bhi nahin jata

abhi kuchh aur karishme ghazal ke dekhte hain

har tamashai faqat sahil se manzar dekhta

qamat ko tere sarw sanobar nahin kaha

yunhi mar mar ke jien waqt guzare jaen

guman yahi hai ki dil KHud udhar ko jata hai

guftugu achchhi lagi zauq-e-nazar achchha laga

is qadar musalsal thin shiddaten judai ki

tha koi ya nahin tha jo kuchh tha

hum apne aansuon ka afsana kya sunaen

sabhi kahen mere gham-KHwar ke alawa bhi

rida-e-zaKHm har gul-pairahan pahne hue hai

dil-girafta hi sahi bazm saja li jae

qurb-e-jaanan ka na mai-KHane ka mausam aaya

dil badan ka sharik-e-haal kahan

be-sar-o-saman the lekin itna andaza na tha

karun na yaad magar kis tarah bhulaun use

jab yar ne raKHt-e-safar bandha kab zabt ka para us din tha

apni hi aawaz ko be-shak kan mein rakhna

na shab-o-roz hi badle hain na haal achchha hai

hum to yun KHush the ki ek tar gareban mein hai

ab shauq se ki jaan se guzar jaana chahiye

har koi turra-e-pechaak pahan kar nikla

gila fuzul tha ahd-e-wafa ke hote hue

jis se ye tabiat baDi mushkil se lagi thi

wafa ke bab mein ilzam-e-ashiqi na liya

kashida sar se tawaqqoa abas jhukaw ki thi

tha abas tark-e-talluq ka irada yun bhi

afi ki tarah Dasne lagi mauj-e-nafas bhi

kyun na hum ahd-e-rifaqat ko bhulane lag jaen

is se pahle ki be-wafa ho jaen

shoala tha jal-bujha hun hawaen mujhe na do

ghanim se bhi adawat mein had nahin mangi

mizaj humse ziyaada juda na tha us ka

tujhe hai mashq-e-sitam ka malal waise hi

ye be-dili hai to kashti se yar kya utren
