Itna Tilism Yaad Ke Chaqmaq Mein Raha
itna tilism yaad ke chaqmaq mein raha
raushan charagh dur kisi taq mein raha
maKHfi bhi tha visal ka wo bab-e-muKHtasar
kuchh dil bhi mahw hijr ke asbaq mein raha
sahra ke ishtirak pe raazi the sab fariq
mahmil ka jo fasad tha ushshaq mein raha
mafqud ho gaya hai siyaq-o-sabaq se
jo harf-e-umr saikaDon auraq mein raha
main tha ki jis ke waste paband ahd-e-hijr
wo aur ek hijr ke misaq mein raha
atwar us ke dekh ke aata nahin yaqin
insan suna gaya hai ki aafaq mein raha
KHufta the daen baen kai mar-e-astin
zahrab ka asar mere tiryaq mein raha
tariKH ne pasand kiya bhi kisi sabab
ya bas ki shah-e-waqt tha auraq mein raha
