chalne ka hausla nahin rukna muhal kar diya
ishq ke is safar ne to mujh ko nidhal kar diya
ai miri gul-zamin tujhe chaah thi ik kitab ki
ahl-e-kitab ne magar kya tira haal kar diya
milte hue dilon ke biich aur tha faisla koi
us ne magar bichhadte vaqt aur saval kar diya
ab ke hava ke saath hai daman-e-yar muntazir
banu-e-shab ke haath men rakhna sambhal kar diya
mumkina faislon men ek hijr ka faisla bhi tha
ham ne to ek baat ki us ne kamal kar diya
mere labon pe mohr thi par mere shisha-ru ne to
shahr ke shahr ko mira vaqif-e-hal kar diya
chehra o naam ek saath aaj na yaad aa sake
vaqt ne kis shabih ko khvab o khayal kar diya
muddaton baad us ne aaj mujh se koi gila kiya
mansab-e-dilbari pe kya mujh ko bahal kar diya
