ham bhi dariyaa hain ha men apna hunar maaloom hai jis taraf bhi chal padenge raasta ho jaayega

use kisi se mohabbat thii aur vo main nahin tha ye baat mujhse zyaada use rulaati thii

manzilen kya hain raasta kya hai hausla ho to fasla kya hai

hui muddat ki ghalib mar gaya par yaad aata hai vo har ik baat par kehna ki yuñ hota to kya hota

ye shahar-e-ajnabi men ab kise ja kar bataayen ham kahaan ke rahne waale hain kahaan ki yaad aati hai

na pooch haal mira chob-e-khushk-e-sehra hooñ laga ke aag mujhe kaarwaan ravana hua

uth gaii hain saamne se kaisi kaisi sooraten roiyie kis ke li.e kis kis ka maatam keejie

kuchh nazar aata nahin us ke tasavvur ke siva hasrat-e-deedaar ne aankhoñ ko andha kar diya

be-ginati bose lenge rukh-e-dil-pasand ke aashiq tire parhe nahin ilm-e-hisaab ko
