Bint-e-lamhat

tumhaare lahje mein jo garmi o halawat hai
use bhala sa koi nam do wafa ki jagah

ghanim-e-nur ka hamla kaho andheron par
dayar-e-dard mein aamad kaho masiha ki

rawan-dawan hue KHushbu ke qafile har-su
KHala-e-subh mein gunji sahar ki shahnai

ye ek kohra sa, ye dhund si jo chhai hai
is iltihab mein, is surmagin ujale mein

siwa tumhaare mujhe kuchh nazar nahin aata
hayat nam hai yaadon ka, talKH aur shirin

bhala kisi ne kabhi rang o bu ko pakDa hai
shafaq ko qaid mein rakkha saba ko band kiya

har ek lamha gurezan hai, jaise dushman hai
na tum milogi na main, hum bhi donon lamhe hain

wo lamhe ja ke jo wapas kabhi nahin aate!
