hijr kii shab naalaa-e-dil vo sadaa dene lage
sunane vaale raat kaTane kii duaa dene lage

kis nazar se aap ne dekhaa dil-e-majaruuh ko
zaKhm jo kuchh bhar chale the phir havaa dene lage

juz zamiin-e-kuu-e-jaanaa.N kuchh nahii.n pesh-e-nigaah
jis kaa daravaazaa nazar aayaa sadaa dene lagaa

baaG_baa.N ne aag dii jab ashiyaane ko mere
jin pe takiyaa thaa vahii patte havaa dene lage

muTThiyo.n me.n Khaak lekar dost aaye vaqt-e-dafn
zindagii bhar kii muhabbat kaa silaa dene lage

aa_iinaa ho jaaye meraa ishq un ke husn kaa
kyaa mazaa ho dard agar Khud hii davaa dene lage
