Main jo apne haal se kaT gaya to kai zamanon mein baT gaya

main jo apne haal se kaT gaya to kai zamanon mein baT gaya
kabhi kaenat bhi kam paDi kabhi jism-o-jaan mein simaT gaya

yahi haal hai kai sal se na qarar-e-dil na sukun-e-jaan
kabhi sans gham ki ulaT gai kabhi rishta dard se kaT gaya

meri jiti-jagti fasl se ye suluk baad-e-sumum ka
meri kisht-e-fikr ujaD gai mera zehn kanTon se paT gaya

na dayar-e-dard mein chain hai na sukun dasht-e-KHayal mein
kabhi lamha bhar ko dhuan chhaTa to ghubar rah mein aT gaya

na wo aarzu na wo justuju na wo rang-e-jama-e-be-rafu
bhala is wajud ka wazn kya jo madar-e-shauq se haT gaya

na wo kaif-e-shab na wo mah-e-shab na wo karwan-e-ghazal-e-shab
jahan zikr-e-hijr-o-visal tha wo waraq hi koi ulaT gaya
