Jo Hafeez-e-khayaal tha

Gir gaya vo qila

Jo Hafez-e-khayaal tha

Kho gaya vo khula

taalib-e-nazar tha jo kal

fizaon may ajib sa

bikhra hua malaal tha

haqeeqat thi khwab si

jaise musafir raat ka

jiska jaagna mohal tha

deewangi ne bhi kaha

zakhmon ki laaj rakh

uske pathar bhi phool

jiska chehra hilaal tha

maanga kiye jisey raat din

chaha duaon se azeez

laa-saani vo be-nazeer

aap apni misaal tha

jiska khayaal thi zindgi

mahaz ek khayal tha

vo tha her khayal may

yehi sab ka khayaal tha

azeez tha jaan ki tarha

jaan ki tarha nikal gaya

apne fun may dosto

vo saaheb-e-kamaal tha

chun liye maine sabhi

un lamhon ki kirchiyaan

phir bhi kahin reh gaya

chubta hua sawaal tha

sailaab tha derd ka

tha gerdab may yaqeen

dubte dubte bhi usey

nakhuda ka khayaal tha
