Kitna hushiyar hua kitna wo farzana hua

kitna hushiyar hua kitna wo farzana hua
teri masti-bhari aankhon ka jo diwana hua

aah ye aalam-e-ghurbat ye shab-e-tanhai
ek qayamat hui dhyan aise mein tera na hua

ek jahan aaj bhi hai us ke tilismon mein asir
sab ka ho kar bhi jo ayyar kisi ka na hua

tujh ko apnane ka yara tha na khone hi ka zarf
dil-e-hairan isi uljhawe mein diwana hua

kaifiyat us ki judai ki na puchho yaro
dil tahi ho ke bhi chhalka hua paimana hua

hae wo lutf-o-karam us ke sitam se pahle
kar ke begana zamane se jo begana hua

roz-e-mahshar na banaya shab-e-gham ko hum ne
zikr tera hi bas afsana dar afsana hua

karb rahat hai kabhi aur kabhi rahat karb
ek muamma ye mizaj-e-dil-e-diwana hua

ek mahsus qarabat ki wo KHushbu-e-badan
jis ko chhune ka tasawwur mein bhi yarana hua

kaifiyat dard-e-tamanna ki wahi hai ki jo thi
tera izhaar-e-wafa bhi dam-e-isa na hua

jaane kis jaan-e-bahaaran ki lagan hai ki 'salam'
dil sa mamura-e-wahshat kabhi sahra na hua
