main ek ret ka paikar tha aur bikhar bhi gaya
na malal-e-hijr na muntazir hain hawa-e-sham-e-visal ke
safar se pahle sarabon ka silsila rakh aae
dasht marub hai kitna meri virani se
tu apne shahr-e-tarab se na puchh haal mera
mizha pe KHwab nahin intizar sa kuchh hai
ai mere ghubar-e-sar tu hi to nahin tanha raegan to main bhi hun
pattharon par wadiyon mein naqsh-e-pa mera bhi hai
aks jal jaenge aaine bikhar jaenge
rang sare apne andar raftagan ke hain
raat aati hai to taqon mein jalate hain charagh
jal raha hun to ajab rang o saman hai mera
sarab-e-mani-o-mafhum mein bhaTakte hain
dekh ke arzan lahu surKHi-e-manzar KHamosh
har rang-e-tarab mausam o manzar se nikala
