mujh se muḳhlis tha na vaqif mire jazbat se tha
us ka rishta to faqat apne mafadat se tha
ab jo bichhda hai to kya roen judai pe tiri
yahi andesha hamen pahli mulaqat se tha
dil ke bujhne ka havaon se gila kya karna
ye diya nazaa ke aalam men to kal raat se tha
markaz-e-shahr men rahne pe musir thi ḳhilqat
aur main vabasta tire dil ke mazafat se tha
main ḳharabon ka makin aur taalluq mera
tere naate kabhi ḳhvabon ke mahallat se tha
lab-kushai pe khula us ke suḳhan se iflas
kitna arasta vo atlas-o-banat se tha
