kuchh to hava bhi sard thi kuchh tha tira khayal bhi
dil ko khushi ke saath saath hota raha malal bhi
baat vo aadhi raat ki raat vo puure chand ki
chand bhi ain chait ka us pe tira jamal bhi
sab se nazar bacha ke vo mujh ko kuchh aise dekhta
ek dafa to ruk gai gardish-e-mah-o-sal bhi
dil to chamak sakega kya phir bhi tarash ke dekh len
shisha-giran-e-shahr ke haath ka ye kamal bhi
us ko na pa sake the jab dil ka ajiib haal tha
ab jo palat ke dekhiye baat thi kuchh muhal bhi
meri talab tha ek shakhs vo jo nahin mila to phir
haath dua se yuun gira bhuul gaya saval bhi
us ki sukhan-taraziyan mere liye bhi dhaal thiin
us ki hansi men chhup gaya apne ghamon ka haal bhi
gaah qarib-e-shah-rag gaah baid-e-vahm-o-khvab
us ki rafaqaton men raat hijr bhi tha visal bhi
us ke hi bazuon men aur us ko hi sochte rahe
jism ki khvahishon pe the ruuh ke aur jaal bhi
shaam ki na-samajh hava puchh rahi hai ik pata
mauj-e-hava-e-ku-e-yar kuchh to mira khayal bhi
