Nichi nazron ke war aane lage

nichi nazron ke war aane lage
lo bas ab jaan-o-dil Thikane lage

meri nazron ne kya kaha yarab
kyun wo sharma ke muskurane lage

maslahat tark-e-jaur tha chande
phir usi hathkandon pe aane lage

jalwa-e-yar ne kiya be-KHud
hum to aate hi un ke jaane lage

sab ka kaba hai manzil-e-maqsud
hum to aage qadam baDhane lage

kya kahin aamad-e-bahaar hui
kyun gareban pe hath jaane lage

gar haqiqat-nigar ho chashm to wo
jalwa har rang mein dikhane lage

hum ko rabt-e-guzishta yaad aae
wo jo ban-Than ke ghar se jaane lage

bas yahi ghayat-e-tasawwur hai
hijr mein lutf-e-wasl aane lage

us sarapa bahaar ke jalwe
rang kuchh aur hi na khane lage

kyun ki fursat adu se tum ko mili
jo tasawwur mein mere aane lage

be-ghiza ke to rah nahin sakte
na mila kuchh to zahar khane lage

baat banti nazar nahin aati
ab wo baaten bahut banane lage

aaj 'majruh' zabt kar na saka
kya kare jab ki jaan jaane lage
