ai shauq-e-dil bhi ek muamma ajiib hai sahra ko andhiyon ki tamanna ajiib hai maujon ke iztirab ne dhadka diya

kam-nigahi bhi hai khamoshi bhi ruposhi bhi kitni maasum hai ehsan-faramoshi bhi ham-safar tu jo nahin hai to ye dhadka

masafat-e-shab-e-hijran tavil likhte rahe mile jo dard unhen sang-e-mil likhte rahe hikayaten hi nahin likkhin aag ki ham ne haqiqaten

siyah-rat pasheman hai ham-rakabi se vo raushni hai tire gham ki mahtabi se saba ke haath hai ab izzat-e-nigah miri

jis shakhs ko dekho vahi sargarm-e-safar hai duniya kahin viran na ho jaae ye Dar hai laegi kabhi rang havaon

siine men dil jo dard ka maara nahin mila phir aaine men aks hamara nahin mila mele men aa gae

miri hayat ke sahra men chhanv jaisa tha ajiib shakhs tha thanDi havaon jaisa tha khula hi rahta tha har-dam

sochta huun yahan kis se hai shanasai miri vahi viran sa makan hai vahi tanhai miri jis ki zulfon men

kya kahin kya ye jahan-e-guzaran lagta hai gul ka hansna bhi tabiat pe garan lagta hai is jahan se bhi

ik umr se jis ko liye phirta huun nazar men vo ruup hai suraj men na vo rang sahar men
