Har ek ko aas mein rakhne ki aadat us ko thee
Warna kyon matloob gairoon ki rafaqat us k thee
Kaise kar leta gawarrah woh meri sansoon ki aanch
In dinoo khud apne saye se bhi wehshat us ko thee
Hijr ki ek aazmaesh se guzar jane ke baad
Saari duniya se judaee ki shikayat us ko thee
Faislay ka huq ussay hasil thaa us ne kar liya
Mujh se kab darkaar koi bhi wazaahat us ko thee
Ek khasta haal shayar kaise aasooda huwa?
Raat ek mehfil mein is nuktay pe hairat us ko thee
Ek khiloona torne ke waastay darkaar thaa
Ab mein samjha, kis liye meri zaroorat us ko thee …
