jo utar k ziinaa-e-shaam se tirii chashm-e-Khush meiN samaa gaye
vuhii jalte bujhte se mehr-o-maah mirre baam-o-dar ko sajaa gaye
ye jo aashiqui ka hai silsila, hai ye aSl meiN koi maujza
ke jo lafz mere gumaaN meiN the, vo tirri zubaaN pe aa gaye
vho jo giit tum ne sunaa nahiiN mirii umr bhar kaa riyaaz thaa
mirre dard kii thii vo daastaaN jise tum haNsii meiN uRaa gaye
vo charaagh-e-jaaN kabhii jis kii lau na kisii havaa se niguuN huii
tirii bevafaaii ke vasvase use chupke chupke bujhaa gaye
voh thaa chaaNd shaam-e-visaal kaa k thaa ruup tere jamaal kaa
merii ruuh se mirii aaNkh tak kisii raushnii meN nahaa gaye
yeh jo bandagaan-e-niyaaz haiN yeh tamaam haiN vuhii lashkarii
jinheN zindagii ne amaaN na dii to tirre huzuur meN aa gaye
tirii beruKhii ke dayaar meN maiN havaa ke saath havaa huaa
tirre aa’iine kii talaash meN mere Khvaab chehraa gaNvaa gaye
tirre vasvasoN ke fishaar meiN, tiraa shahr-e-rang ujaR gayaa
mirii KhvaahishoN ke ghubaar meN mirre maah-o-saal-e-vafaa gaye
vo ajiib phuul se lafz the tirre hoNT jin se mahak uThe
mere dasht-e-Khwaab meN duur tak koii baagh jaise lagaa gaye
mirii umr se na simaT sake mirre dil meN itne savaal the
tire paas jitne javaab the tirii ik nigaah meN aa gaye
vuhii jalte bujhte se mehr-o-maah mirre baam-o-dar ko sajaa gaye
