ye pairahan jo miri ruuh ka utar na saka
to nakh-ba-nakh kahin paivast resha-e-dil tha
mujhe maal-e-safar ka malal kyun-kar ho
ki jab safar hi mira faslon ka dhoka tha
main jab firaq ki raton men us ke saath rahi
vo phir visal ke lamhon men kyuun akela tha
vo vaste ki tira darmiyan bhi kyuun aae
khuda ke saath mira jism kyuun na ho tanha
sarab huun main tiri pyaas kya bujhaungi
is ishtiyaq se tishna zaban qarib na la
sarab huun ki badan ki yahi shahadat hai
har ek uzv men bahta hai ret ka dariya
jo mere lab pe hai shayad vahi sadaqat hai
jo mere dil men hai us harf-e-raegan pe na ja
jise main tod chuki huun vo raushni ka tilism
shua-e-nur-e-azal ke siva kuchh aur na tha
