Ek-adh Harif-e-gham-e-duniya Bhi Nahin Tha

ek-adh harif-e-gham-e-duniya bhi nahin tha

arbab-e-wafa mein koi itna bhi nahin tha

lab jalte hain mai-KHwaron ke sine nahin jalte

is darja KHunuk shoala-e-mina bhi nahin tha

ek us ka taghaful hai wo yaad aa hi gaya hai

ek wada-e-farda hai wo bhula bhi nahin tha

kah sakte to ahwal-e-jahan tum se hi kahte

tum se to kisi baat ka parda bhi nahin tha

ab husn pe KHud us ka tasawwur bhi giran hai

pahle to giran KHwab-e-zuleKHa bhi nahin tha

pahle meri wahshat ke ye andaz bhi kam the

pahle mujhe andaza-e-sahra bhi nahin tha

ab ye hai ki thamta hua dariya hai teri yaad

be-faiz ye dariya kabhi aisa bhi nahin tha

achchha to murawwat hi tera bosa-e-lab hai

achchha ye koi dil ka taqaza bhi nahin tha

majnun ke siwa kis se uThi minnat-e-didar

aaKHir ruKH-e-laila tha tamasha bhi nahin tha
