Hosh ke lamhe lagte hain ab saza

jin patharon ko tune toor kar diya
aaj mujhe tune wahi pathar bana diya

derd hi apne dawa–e-derd ban gaye
ghumon ko hi tune charahgar bana diya

mar-mar ke jeene ka matlab samjhte rahe
rafta rafta hadison ne nidar bana diya

sabut be-sabaati ka her rishte ne dediya

teri talab ne tahi-dast gadagar bana diya

naveed-e-nau lekar kitne aaye they jahan may

jise mili teri nazar payambar bana diya

mehafil-e-lutf-o-inbisaat bhi ab ghair hi lage
carvaan may bhi tanha musaafir bana diya

bakhshi shab-e-ghaflath ko ek noorani fajar
nooha-e-zulmat kade ko azn-e-sehar bana diya

begana-e-duniya tujh se mil ke dil hua
teri adaaon ne dil deewana,moqadar bana diya

her baar pilaai naye andaaz se tu ne
tere saath jo dooba usey gauhar bana diya

hosh ke lamhe lagte hain ab sazaa
bekhudi ne her darr tera darr bana diya

na manzil ki chah hai na raston ka darr
tu ne "chaand"ko ulfat ka mazhar bana diya
