ghamgin be-maza badi tanha udaas hai
tere baghair to miri duniya udaas hai
phaila hua hai raat ki ankhon men soz-e-hijr
mahtab-rut men chand ka chehra udaas hai
lo phir se aa gaya hai judai ka marhala
ankhen hain nam miri tira lahja udaas hai
barish baha ke le gai tinkon ka ashiyan
bhige shajar ki shakh pe chidiya udaas hai
shahzada so gaya hai kahani sune baghair
bachpan ke taaq men rakhi gudiya udaas hai
ankhen munder par dhare guzri shab-e-visal
lipta hua kalai se gajra udaas hai
suraj lipat ke jhiil ke paani se ro diya
manzar firaq-e-sham ka kitna udaas hai
kis ko hain raas hijr ki kathnaiyan ‘sahar’
jitna qarib ho koi utna udaas hai
