Bahut qarib ho tum

bahut qarib ho tum phir bhi mujh se kitni dur
ki dil kahin hai nazar hai kahin kahin tum ho

wo jis ko pi na saki meri shola-ashami
wo kuza-e-shakar o jam-e-ambagin tum ho

mere mizaj mein aashuftagi saba ki hai
mili kali ki ada gul ki tamkanat tum ko

saba ki god mein phir bhi saba se begana
tamam husn o haqiqat tamam afsana

wafa bhi jis pe hai nazan wo bewafa tum ho
jo kho gai hai mere dil ki wo sada tum ho

bahut qarib ho tum phir bhi mujh se kitni dur
hijab-e-jism abhi hai hijab-e-ruh abhi

abhi to manzil-e-sad-mehr-o-mah baqi hai
hijab-e-fasla-ha-e-nigah baqi hai

visal-e-yar abhi tak hai aarzu ka fareb
