ruKH hawaon ke kisi samt hon manzar hain wahi
chup rahe dekh ke un aankhon ke tewar aashiq
chehre makan rah ke patthar badal gae
KHun palkon pe sar-e-sham jamega kaise
chhu bhi to nahin sakte hum mauj-e-saba ban kar
wo mauj-e-KHunuk shahr-e-sharar tak nahin aai
aaThon pahr lahu mein nahaya kare koi
aaKHir charagh-e-dard-e-mohabbat bujha diya
dil mutmain hai harf-e-wafa ke baghair bhi
main ujDa shahr tha tapta tha dasht ke manind
chamakte chand se chehron ke manzar se nikal aae
sar-e-sahra-e-duniya phul yun hi to nahin khilte
guzar rahi hai magar KHase iztirab ke sath
dilon ke aaine dhundle paDe hain
aatish-fishan zaban hi nahin thi badan bhi tha
