Hairan bahut tabish-e-husn-digaran thi

hairan bahut tabish-e-husn-digaran thi
tujh lab ki sifat lal-e-badaKHshan mein kahan thi

phaila kiye dariya-e-mohabbat ke kinare
un jhil si aankhon mein koi chiz nihan thi

har jashn-e-tarab-nak pe majlis ka asar tha
har uDte hue bose mein gard-e-gham-e-jaan thi

ya arz-e-yaqin par thi bichhi barf ki chadar
ya ghere hue phir mujhe duniya-e-guman thi

hum bargah-e-wasl ke Thukrae hue log
ek sohbat-e-ayyam thi so nazr-e-fughan thi

hum zabt ke maron ka ajab haal tha 'saqib'
jo baat chhupani thi wo chehron se ayan thi
