aahaT si koi aae to lagta hai ki tum ho

ashaar mere yun to zamane ke liye hain

humse bhaga na karo dur ghazalon ki tarah

log kahte hain ki tu ab bhi KHafa hai mujhse

sau chand bhi chamkenge to kya baat banegi

jab lagen zaKHm to qatil ko dua di jae

humne kaTi hain teri yaad mein raaten aksar

achchha hai un se koi taqaza kiya na jae

ai dard-e-ishq tujhse mukarne laga hun main

tu is qadar mujhe apne qarib lagta hai

zulfen sina naf kamar

hausla kho na diya teri nahin se humne

har ek ruh mein ek gham chhupa lage hai mujhe

zindagi ye to nahin tujhko sanwara hi na ho

zindagi tujhko bhulaya hai bahut din humne

aaj muddat mein wo yaad aae hain

dil ko har lamha bachate rahe jazbaat se hum

zara si baat pe har rasm toD aaya tha

tum pe kya bit gai kuchh to batao yaro

mujhe malum hai main sari duniya ki amanat hun

aae kya kya yaad nazar jab paDti in dalanon par

jism ki har baat hai aawargi ye mat kaho

tamam umr azabon ka silsila to raha

wo log hi har daur mein mahbub rahe hain

dida o dil mein koi husn bikharta hi raha

muddat hui us jaan-e-haya ne humse ye iqrar kiya

lakh aawara sahi shahron ke fuTpathon pe hum

bahut dil kar ke honTon ki shagufta tazgi di hai

mauj-e-gul mauj-e-saba mauj-e-sahar lagti hai

mana ki rang rang tera pairahan bhi hai

mai-kashi ab meri aadat ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin

har ek shaKHs pareshan-o-darba-dar sa lage

ek to nainan kajrare aur tis par Dube kajal mein

ufuq agarche pighalta dikhai paDta hai

aankhen chura ke humse bahaar aae ye nahin

wo humse aaj bhi daman-kashan chale hai miyan

tumhaare jashn ko jashn-e-farozan hum nahin kahte

har ek ruh mein ek gham chhupa lage hai mujhe

chaunk chaunk uThti hai mahlon ki faza raat gae

zamin hogi kisi qatil ka daman hum na kahte the

subh ke dard ko raaton ki jalan ko bhulen

ranj-o-gham mange hai andoh-o-bala mange hai

tulu-e-subh hai nazren uTha ke dekh zara

KHud-ba-KHud mai hai ki shishe mein bhari aawe hai

bekasi had se jab guzar jae

be-murawwat bewafa begana-e-dil aap hain
