Apne se gurezan kabhi aghyar se barham

apne se gurezan kabhi aghyar se barham
manind bagulon ke hain ab garm-e-safar hum

phirte hain tere shahar mein be-yar-o-madadgar
gard-e-rah-e-manzil ki tarah KHak-ba-sar hum

wo raat kisi taur jo kaTe nahin kaTti
wo raat bhi karte hain kisi taur basar hum

allah ri wamandagi-e-qafila-e-sham
baiThe rahe ta-subh sar-e-rah-guzar hum

kandhon pe uThae hue ek tohmat-e-yaran
jate hain su-e-dar jhukae hue sar hum

phulon ki kabhi baat sitaron ka kabhi zikr
karte hain tujhe yaad ba-andaz-e-digar hum

phir dil ne pukara hai usi shoala-nafas ko
jo ruh ki taskin hai aur zaKHm ka marham

ye jabr-e-mashiyat tha ki dekha kiye barson
andaz-e-shab-e-tar mein aasar-e-sahar hum

husn-e-lab-o-gesu ko diya hum ne naya nam
aalam se juda rakhte hain andaz-e-nazar hum

ye kawish-e-afkar mata-e-dil-o-jaan hai
rakhte hain agar kuchh to yahi naqd-e-hunar hum
