bas ek baat ki usko KHabar zaruri hai

munafiqat ka nisab paDh kar mohabbaton ki kitab likhna

maqam-e-shauq se aage bhi ek rasta nikalta hai

kisi tarah bhi to wo rah par nahin aaya

de rahe hain jis ko topon ki salami aadmi

guzarte waqt ki koi nishani sath rakhta hun

kahan kisi pe ye ehsan karne wala hun

tumhaare baad raha kya hai dekhne ke liye

asl haalat ka bayan zahir ke sanchon mein nahin

karta kuchh aur hai wo dikhata kuchh aur hai

shab-e-siyah pe wa raushni ka bab to ho

dhup jab Dhal gai to saya nahin

dil bhi aapko bhul chuka hai

is andhere mein jo thoDi raushni maujud hai

kabhi jo rasta hamwar karne lagta hun

rok sakta tha kisi ko main magar jaane diya

jab safar se lauT kar aane ki tayyari hui

ghaDi ghaDi use roko ghaDi ghaDi samjhao

kisi nazar ne mujhe jam par lagaya hua hai

nigah ke liye ek KHwab bhi ghanimat hai

kami rakhta hun apne kaam ki takmil mein

isi tarah ke shab-o-roz hain wahi duniya

qadam qadam pe kisi imtihan ki zad mein hai

wo sar se panw tak hai ghazab se bhara hua

apna diwana bana kar le jae

fasil-e-shahr-e-tamanna mein dar banate hue

main sochta hun agar is taraf wo aa jata

ana ko bandhta rahta hun apne sheron mein

dekhe koi talluq-e-KHatir ke rang bhi

har phul hai hawaon ke ruKH par khila hua

usi tarah ke shab-o-roz hain wahi duniya

ye jabr bhi hai bahut iKHtiyar karte hue

zara si der ko chamka tha wo sitara kahin

rasta KHwab ke andar se nikalta hua tha

gae manzaron se ye kya uDa hai nigah mein

wajud ka inhisar go KHak par nahin tha

aaKHirash is bahr ki tah mein utar jaane ke din

nazar mein phul khile hain lahu mahakta hai

agar teri aankh ke ishaare nahin rahenge

nahin ki dil mein mohabbat ziyaada ho gai hai

marne walon ki hai yahan bharmar

yun to is shahr mein ek ek se siwa aurat hai

KHud apni dhund se hota nikal bhi sakta hun

ajib tarh ka ye ehtimam mujhse hua

tani hi rahti hai talwar si koi mere sar par

ek KHwab se guzar kar ek be-KHudi se ho kar

jab koi aaina bhi na tha mere samne

rang se uDte hain aur raushni aawaz mein hai

dil se dam lene ki mohlat bhi nahin mangte hain

aate hain aur taswir ho jate hain KHwab
