Huzur-e-yar mein harf iltija ke rakkhe the

huzur-e-yar mein harf iltija ke rakkhe the
charagh samne jaise hawa ke rakkhe the

bas ek ashk-e-nadamat ne saf kar Dale
wo sab hisab jo hum ne uTha ke rakkhe the

sumum-e-waqt ne lahje ko zaKHm zaKHm kiya
wagarna hum ne qarine saba ke rakkhe the

bikhar rahe the so hum ne uTha liye KHud hi
gulab jo teri KHatir saja ke rakkhe the

hawa ke pahle hi jhonke se haar man gae
wahi charagh jo hum ne bacha ke rakkhe the

tum hi ne panw na rakkha wagarna wasl ki shab
zamin pe hum ne sitare bichha ke rakkhe the

miTa saki na unhen roz o shab ki barish bhi
dilon pe naqsh jo rang-e-hina ke rakkhe the

husul-e-manzil-e-duniya kuchh aisa kaam na tha
magar jo rah mein patthar ana ke rakkhe the
