Ek tir nahin kya teri mizhgan ki safon mein

ek tir nahin kya teri mizhgan ki safon mein
bah jaen lahu ban ke ye hasrat hai dilon mein

dariya ho to maujon mein khule is ka sarapa
pagal hai hawa chiKHti phirti hai banon mein

teshe ki sada meri hi fariyaad thi goya
meri hi tarah tha koi patthar ki silon mein

yun aaj phir ek hasrat-e-nakaam pe roe
jaise na the pahle kabhi aazurda-dilon mein

ab subh se ta-sham hai sadiyon ki masafat
har lamha-e-be-qaid hai zanjir dinon mein

raston pe umaDta hua phulon ka samundar
hairan hun kis tarah samaya hai gharon mein

khencha tha junun ne jise daman-e-hawa par
dekha to wahi shakl hai miTTi ki tahon mein

kya Theren qadam dasht-e-nawardan-e-wafa ke
kanTa to nahin panw mein sauda hai saron mein

tausif wo yaadon ka dhuan hai ki sar-e-bazm
chehre nazar aate hain charaghon ki lawon mein
