main bhatkata hi raha dasht-e-shanaasaai men
koi utara hi nahin rooh ki gehraai men
kya milaaya hai bataa jaam-e-paziraai men
khoob nashsha hai teri hausla-afzaai men
teri yaadon ki sui prem ka dhaaga meraa
kaam aa.e hain bahut zaKHmon ki turpaai men
das rahi hai ye siyah-raat ki naagin mujh...ko
bhar rahi zahr-e-khamoshi rag-e-tanhaai men
surma-e-makr-o-fareb aankhoñ men jab se hai laga
tab se hai khoob izafa had-e-beenaai men
fikr-o-fan rang-e-taghazzul na ghazal ki KHushboo
bas laga rehta hooñ main qaafiya-paimaai men
seekh paani se hunar kaam anees aayega
daud kar KHud hi chala aata hai gehraai men
