چلنے کا حوصلہ نہیں رکنا محال کر دیا

chalne ka hausla nahin rukna muhaal kar diya

ishq ke is safar ne to mujhko niDhaal kar diya

ai meri gul-zamin tujhe chaah thi ek kitab ki

ahl-e-kitab ne magar kya tera haal kar diya

milte hue dilon ke beech aur tha faisla koi

usne magar bichhaDte waqt aur sawal kar diya

ab ke hawa ke sath hai daman-e-yar muntazir

banu-e-shab ke hath men rakhna sambhaal kar diya

mumkina faislon men ek hijr ka faisla bhi tha

humne to ek baat ki usne kamal kar diya

mere labon pe mohr thi par mere shisha-ru ne to

shahr ke shahr ko mera waqif-e-haal kar diya

chehra-o-nam ek sath aaj na yaad aa sake

waqt ne kis shabih ko KHwab-o-KHayal kar diya

muddaton baad usne aaj mujhse koi gila kiya

mansab-e-dilbari pe kya mujhko bahaal kar diya
