main bujh gaya to kaun ujalega tera rup

kahte hain ki uThne ko hai ab rasm-e-mohabbat

kuchh talluq bhi nahin rasm-e-jahan se aage

kyun baam pe aawazon ka dhammal hai ajmal

yun KHush na ho ai shahr-e-nigaran ke dar o baam

wo mere KHwab chura kar bhi KHush nahin ajmal

ye gham mera hai to phir ghair se ilaqa kya

zamir o zehn mein ek sard jang jari hai

usi ke honTon ke phul bab-e-qubul chuMein

lahu rishton ka ab jamne laga hai

ajmal safar mein sath rahin yun saubaten

koi sada koi aawaza-e-jaras hi sahi

kis se main un ka Thikana puchhta

zinda koi kahan tha ki sadqa utarta

ufuq ke aaKHiri manzar mein jagmagaun main
