Nigah-o-dil Ka Afsana Qarib-e-iKHtitam Aaya

nigah-o-dil ka afsana qarib-e-iKHtitam aaya

hamein ab is se kya aai sahar ya waqt-e-sham aaya

zaban-e-ishq par ek chiKH ban kar tera nam aaya

KHirad ki manzilen tai ho chukin dil ka maqam aaya

uThana hai jo patthar rakh ke sine par wo gam aaya

mohabbat mein teri tark-e-mohabbat ka maqam aaya

ise aansu na kah ek yaad-e-ayyam-e-guzishta hai

meri umr-e-rawan ko umr-e-rafta ka salam aaya

zara lau aur dil ki tez kar sila sa ye shoala

na raushan kar saka ghar ko na mahfil hi ke kaam aaya

mukammal tabsira karta hua ayyam-e-rafta par

nigah-e-be-suKHan mein ek ashk-e-be-kalam aaya

tawana ko bahana chahiye shayad tashaddud ko

phir ek majbur par shoridgi ka ittiham aaya

na jaane kitni shamen gul huin kitne bujhe tare

tab ek KHurshid itraata hua baala-e-baam aaya

barahman aab-e-ganga shaiKH kausar le uDa us se

tere honTon ko jab chhuta hua 'mulla' ka jam aaya
