Tere shahr-e-amn ka kya kahen ki har ek makan juda sa hai

tere shahr-e-amn ka kya kahen ki har ek makan juda sa hai
hain daron pe qufl lage hue sar-e-taq dip bujha sa hai

tera dasht bhi to hai be-karan meri wahshaton ki bhi had nahin
mere jurm-e-KHana-KHarab ko to ye rahguzar bhi dilasa hai

teri yaad aai to kis tarah main pukarta hi chala gaya
koi dam ruka to KHabar hui ki ye koh koh-e-nida sa hai

meri ghairat-e-hama-gir ne mujhe tere dar se uTha diya
kuchh ana ka zor jo kam hua to KHabar hui tu KHuda sa hai

abhi la ki manzil-e-saKHt mein hun fareb-o-wahm-o-guman liye
mere dil mein phir bhi basa hua tera nam radd-e-bala sa hai

ye masafaten shab-e-tar ki ye na KHatm hone ke silsile
abhi fasla rag-e-jaan se hai to hanuz garche zara sa hai

tere KHatt-e-husn-e-jamal ko mere harf-e-aina-saz ne
kai rang de diye pur-kashish magar ab bhi ek KHala sa hai
