ab kahan hun kahan nahin hun main

wo dil nahin raha wo tabiat nahin rahi

jo puchhta hai koi surKH kyun hain aaj aankhen

dil ko barbaad kiye jati hai

ujDi duniya ko basaya hai zara dekho to

ji ko nahaq niDhaal karte ho

baaten karne mein phul jhaDte hain

KHun-bhare jam unDelta hun main

tamam umr main aansu bahaunga aKHtar

zaKHm khane ke din gae lekin

ek sabr-azma judai hai

ja raha tha main sar jhukae hue

hae kya qahr thi wo pahli nazar

hamesha waqt-e-sahar jab qarib hota hai

husn ki dastan bana Dala

paDha hai maine fasanon mein jis tarah aKHtar

faza hai nur ki barish se sim-gun is waqt

hai gham-e-rozgar ka mauzua

jinko hai aish-e-dil mayassar, wo

har taraf ek be-hijabi hai

un mein rahti thi ek hansi ban kar

gham-e-dil ka ilaj duniya mein

phuwar, abr, parindon ke git, mast hawa

pani le sakte hain dariya se magar kuze mein hum

kisi KHayal mein madhosh ja raha tha main

kis qayamat ke lamhe the aKHtar

chandni, tare, abr ke TukDe

teri nazuk aur lanbi ungliyan

maut ki si pur-sukun viraniyan

hamesha jagte hi jagte sahar kar di

dil to roe magar main gae jaun

kar diya hafize mein hashr bapa

is rupahli sharab-e-nurin se

ilahi usko mohabbat se kuchh talluq hai

sach to ye hai jahan mein mere baad

aab-e-dariya mein hai jis tarah rawani pinhan

gosha-e-bagh ki mulaqaten

hawa thi ThanDi ThanDi chandni thi aur dariya tha

qalb zinda hai lafz hain be-jaan

dil-e-hasrat-zada mein ek shoala sa bhaDakta hai

umar bhar jine ki tohmat bhi uThegi ya-rab

mutriba jab sada-e-saz ke sath

idhar dimagh hain sakit dilon ko sakta hai

koi jangal mein ga raha hai git

aah! marg-e-arzu ka majra ab kya kahun

nind aati hai is tarah shab ko

fughan-e-gham surud-e-anjumin malum hoti hai

nashsha-e-KHwab mein madhosh hai sari duniya

ek taswir khinch di goya

ye bosida phaTi gudDi ye suraKHon bhari kamli
