Wo ahd-e-jawani wo KHarabaat ka aalam

wo ahd-e-jawani wo KHarabaat ka aalam
naghmat mein Dubi hui barsat ka aalam

allah-re us zulf ke jaan-baKHsh andhere
jaise ki mahakte hue zulmat ka aalam

ai rasha-e-masti ka sabab puchhne wale
dekha hai kabhi pahli mulaqat ka aalam

nikle the mere sath wo jab bazm-e-azal se
kuchh subh ke aasar the kuchh raat ka aalam

yun us ki jawani ka kuchh andaza tha jaise
mai-KHane pe umDi hui barsat ka aalam

aankhon ke tasadum mein hikayat ki duniya
honTon ke tasadum mein KHarabaat ka aalam

aawaz mein kaliyon ke chaTakne ki latafat
raftar mein bahte hue naghmat ka aalam

hansti hui aankhon se sawalat ki barish
jalte hue honTon mein jawabaat ka aalam

kuchh mujh ko KHabar thi na unhen hosh tha apna
allah-re mad-hoshi o jazbaat ka aalam

aankhon mein shafaq jism mein mai zulf mein ThanDak
aalam bhi wo aalam ki KHarabaat ka aalam

anfas se aati hui ek narm si KHushbu
simTa hua honTon mein mudaraat ka aalam

wo chiz jise zindagi kahte hain wo kya hai
hanste hue shaffaf KHayalat ka aalam

baiTha hun 'adam' le ke baDi der se dil mein
kahte hain jise harf-o-hikayat ka aalam
