araish-e-khayal
bhi ho dilkusha bhi ho
wo dard ab kahan jise ji chahta bhi ho
ye
kya k roz ek sa gam ek si ummid
is ranj-e-bekhumar ki ab inteha bhi ho
ye
kya k ek taur se guzre tamam umr
ji chahta hai ab koi tere siwa bhi ho
tute
kabhi to khwab-e-shab-o-roz ka tilism
itne hujum main koi chehra naya bhi ho
diwangi-e-shauq
ko ye dhun hai in dinon
ghar bhi ho aur be-dar-o-diwar sa bhi ho
juz
dil koi makan nahi dahar main jahan
rahzan ka khauf bhi na rahe dar khula bhi ho
har
zarra ek mahmil-e-ibrat hai dasht ka
lekin kise dikhaun koi dekhta bhi ho
har
shay pukarti hai pas-e-parda-e-sukut
lekin kise sunaun koi hamnawa bhi ho
fursat
main sun shaguftagi-e-guncha ki sada
ye wo sukhan nahi jo kisi ne kaha bhi ho
baitha
hai ek shakhs mere pas der se
koi bhala-sa ho to hamain dekhta bhi ho
bazm-e-sukhan
bhi ho sukhan-e-garm k liye
taus bolta ho to jangal hara bhi ho
