Ajib tajraba tha bhiD se guzarne ka

ajib tajraba tha bhiD se guzarne ka
use bahana mila mujh se baat karne ka

phir ek mauj-e-tah-e-ab us ko khinch gai
tamasha KHatm hua Dubne ubharne ka

mujhe KHabar hai ki rasta mazar chahta hai
main KHasta-pa sahi lekin nahin Thaharne ka

thama ke ek bikharta gulab mere hath
tamasha dekh raha hai wo mere Darne ka

ye aasman mein siyahi bikher di kis ne
hamein tha shauq bahut us mein rang bharne ka

khaDe hon dost ki dushman safen sab ek si hain
wo jaanta hai idhar se nahin guzarne ka

nigah ham-safaron par rakhun sar-e-manzil
ki marhala hai ye ek dusre se Darne ka

lapak lapak ke wahin Dher ho gae aaKHir
jatan kiya to bahut sath se ubharne ka

karan karan na saza koi sair karne ki
safar safar na koi hadsa guzarne ka

kisi maqam se koi KHabar na aane ki
koi jahaz zamin par na ab utarne ka

koi sada na samaat pe naqsh hone ki
na koi aks meri aankh mein Thaharne ka

na ab hawa mare sine mein sansanane ki
na koi zahr meri ruh mein utarne ka

koi bhi baat na mujh ko udas karne ki
koi suluk na mujh pe giran guzarne ka

bas ek chiKH giri thi pahaD se yak-laKHt
ajab nazara tha phir dhund ke bikharne ka
