ye to nahin ki baadiya-paima na aaega

kali ghazal suno na suhani ghazal suno

ab tak ilaj-e-ranjish-e-be-ja na kar sake

jab ye dawe the ki har dukh ka mudawa ho gae

goya chaman chaman na tha

hamein tanhaiyon mein yun to kya kya yaad aata hai

sahar ab hoga mera zikr bhi raushan-dimaghon mein

be-rabti-e-hayat ka manzar bhi dekh le

rah-e-ishq-o-wafa bhi kucha-o-bazar ho jaise

takmil-e-arzu se bhi hota hai gham kabhi
