ab tak to kami kuchh na hui dagh-e-jigar mein
dil-e-sozan-e-ashiq maKHzan-e-rang-e-wafa hoga
hath se dil ro ke khona yaad hai
pyasi thi ye KHud mere lahu ki
gardish mein aaina ho na kyun rozgar ka
aag jab zaKHm-e-jigar be-intiha dene lage
hai rang-e-hina jin mein wahi hath dikha de
shab-e-firaq mein ye dil se guftugu kya hai
kaha jo usne ki kahiye to kuchh gila kya hai
mujhko jine se faeda bhi nahin
jhuTi tasalliyon pe shab-e-gham basar hui
zindagi ka maza nahin milta
thi chaal hashr mein bhi qayamat huzur ki
kabhi andhere se ghabrae raushni se kabhi
hai yaad josh ye jis waqt ashk-bari thi
