Baad-az-waqt

dil ko ehsas se do-chaar na kar dena tha

saz-e-KHwabida ko bedar na kar dena tha

apne masum tabassum ki farawani ko

wusat-e-did pe gul-bar na kar dena tha

shauq-e-majbur ko bas ek jhalak dikhla kar

waqif-e-lazzat-e-takrar na kar dena tha

chashm-e-mushtaq ki KHamosh tamannaon ko

yak-ba-yak mael-e-guftar na kar dena tha

jalwa-e-husn ko mastur hi rahne dete

hasrat-e-dil ko gunahgar na kar dena tha
