Juda hai dard ka mafhum lafz-e-KHwab ke sath

juda hai dard ka mafhum lafz-e-KHwab ke sath
shuur-e-zat nikharta hai inqalab ke sath

nazar uTha ke to dekho ufuq ke chehre par
meri ghazal ka taqaddus hai aaftab ke sath

azal se dasht-o-bayaban mein ghumti hai hayat
kabhi naqab se haT kar kabhi naqab ke sath

shafaq hai ya teri aankhon ki mauj-e-be-KHwabi
jo ghul rahi hai har ek qatra-e-sharab ke sath

guzar di hain kai intizar ki shamen
kuchh iztirab ki KHatir kuchh iztirab ke sath

mere wajud ki tanhaiyon ke zine se
utar raha hai sambhal kar koi hijab ke sath

riwayaton ke dawawin dekhne walo
nae mizaj ka chehra paDho kitab ke sath
