Shama ki aaghosh Khaali kar ke parwana chala

shama ki aaghosh KHali kar ke parwana chala
aage aage thi haqiqat pichhe afsana chala

kaun diwana tha jo hamrah diwana chala
shakl-e-gard-e-rahguzar kuchh dur virana chala

halqa-e-sud-e-ziyan se ho ke begana chala
be-niyazana tha aaya be-niyazana chala

ye bhi ek rasm-e-talluq hai ba-qadr-e-agahi
baat kabe ki jo aai zikr-e-but-KHana chala

kuchh ishaare kuchh kinae kuchh KHamoshi kuchh bayan
guftugu ka silsila bhi raaz-darana chala

lan-tarani kya buri thi bahar-e-taqrib-e-suKHan
kyun na le kar phir koi zauq-e-kalimana chala
