KHushbu hai kabhi gul hai kabhi shama kabhi hai

KHushbu hai kabhi gul hai kabhi shama kabhi hai
wo aatish-e-sayyal jo sine mein bhari hai

baada-talbi shauq ki daryuza-gari hai
sad-shukr ki taqdir hi yan tishna-labi hai

ghunchon ke chaTakne ka saman dil mein abhi hai
milne mein jo uTh uTh ke nazar un ki jhuki hai

ab zabt se kah de ki ye ruKHsat ki ghaDi hai
ai wahshat-e-gham der se kya soch rahi hai

masum hai yaad un ki bhaTak jae na rasta
KHun-gashta tamannaon ki kyun bhiD lagi hai

yaadon se kaho sola-singar aaj karaen
aaina-ba-kaf hasrat-e-didar khaDi hai

lab si liye andesha-e-dushnam-e-jahan se
ab apni KHamoshi hi ek afsana bani hai

Thahri hai to ek chehre pe Thahri rahi barson
bhaTki hai to phir aankh bhaTakti hi rahi hai
