shaguftagi se gae, dil-giraftagi se gae

majlis-e-gham, na koi bazm-e-tarab, kya karte

hamein nahin aate ye kartab nae zamane wale

ye kaise malbe ke niche daba diya gaya hun

junun ke dam se aaKHir martaba kaisa mila mujhko

koi mila to kisi aur ki kami hui hai

is tarah dekhta hun udhar wo jidhar na ho

kya bataun ki jo hangama bapa hai mujh mein

KHwab mein koi mujhko aas dilane baiTha tha

apni KHabar, na us ka pata hai, ye ishq hai

kahan na-jaane chala gaya intizar kar ke

idhar kuchh din se dil ki bekali kam ho gai hai

mere KHwabon se ojhal us ka chehra ho gaya hai

shikast-e-KHwab ka hamein malal kyun nahin raha

ek tarik KHala usMein chamakta hawa main
