zindagi maut ke pahlu mein bhali lagti hai

salim dasht-e-tamanna mein kaun hai kis ka

tark un se rasm-o-rah-e-mulaqat ho gai

KHud apni lau mein tha mehrab-e-jaan mein jalta tha

ishq mein jis ke ye ahwal bana rakkha hai

nind se pahle

mashriq haar gaya

aafaq

naya makan

pagal

mujhse kahta hai ki sae ki tarah sath hain hum

na jaane sher mein kis dard ka hawala tha

wo be-KHudi thi mohabbat ki be-ruKHi to na thi

KHush-numa lafzon ki rishwat de ke raazi kijiye

sae ko sae mein gum hote to dekha hoga
