Is qadar aap ka itab rahe

is qadar aap ka itab rahe
dil ko mere na iztirab rahe

na paTi un se pyar ki mizan
han magar ranj be-hisab rahe

yun shab-e-wasl ka hai aalam yaad
jaise barson ki yaad KHwab rahe

haal-e-dil sun ke bol uTha qasid
yaad kis ko ye sab kitab rahe

muntazir hun kisi ke aane ka
kis ki aankhon mein aa ke KHwab rahe

subh ke is hijab ne mara
raat bhar aise be-hijab rahe

ghair ka munh aur aap se baaten
aisi baaton se ijtinab rahe

hum bhi mar kar azab se chhuTe
aap bhi daKHil-e-sawab rahe

hae wo din KHuda na lae yaad
hum se ruThe jo kuchh janab rahe

bahr-e-hasti se kuch hai darpesh
yaad mansuba-e-hubab rahe

ek dam ka yahan tawaqquf hai
KHema be-chob be-tanab rahe

kuchh na ban aai us ke aage 'nizam'
do hi baaton mein la-jawab rahe
