zikr-e-shab-e-faraq se vehshat usse bhi thi
meri tarah kisi se mohabbat usse bhi thi
mujh ko bhi shoq tha naye chehron ki deed ka
rasta badalne ki aadat usse bhi thi
us raat der tak woh raha mahu-e-gugtugu
massrood mein bhi kam tha, faragat usse bhi thi
mujh se bichar ke shehar mein ghulmil gaya woh shakhs
halamke shehar bhar se adawat usse bhi thi
sunta tha woh bhi sab se purani kahaniyan
shayad rifaqaton ki zaroorat usse bhi thi
tanha huwa safar mein tou mujh per khula yeh bhed
saaye se pyar, dhoop se nafrat usse bhi thi
mohsin mein us se keh na saka yoon bhi haal-e-dil
dar-pesh ek taaza musibat usse bhi thi
