Gale mein hath the shab us pari se rahen thin

gale mein hath the shab us pari se rahen thin
sahar hui to wo aankhen na wo nigahen thin

nikal ke chehre pe maidan saf KHat ne kiya
kabhi ye shahr tha aisa ki band rahen thin

firaq mein tere aashiq ko ja ke kal dekha
ki wo to hech tha kuchh ashk the kuchh aahen thin

bagule ab hain ki ghurbat hai gor-e-shahan par
saron pe chatr jilau mein kabhi sipahen thin

hazaron loT gae kal uThi jo wo chilman
KHadang mu-e-mizha barchhiyan nigahen thin

kiya ye shauq ne andha mujhe na sujha kuchh
wagarna rabt ki us se hazar rahen thin

ye zoaf hai ki nikalti nahin hain ab dil se
kabhi falak se bhi unchi hamari aahen thin

jigar mein hijr ki kal chubh rahi thin kuchh fansen
magar jo ghaur se dekha teri nigahen thin

pahunch gae sar-e-manzil chale jo chaal nai
unhin mein pher tha dekhi hui jo rahen thin

falak ke daur se duniya badal gai warna
jahan bane hain ye mai-KHane KHan-qahen thin

ye zoaf ab hai ki hilna giran hai qadmon ko
subuk-rawi mein kabhi in ko dastgahen thin

mushaere se hasin kyun na chhin le jate
rubaiyan meri chu go shubh kulahen thin

hasin zar ke hain talib ki ab hain gird-e-'amir'
gharib hum the to ye pyar tha na chahen thin
