Ajab junoon-e musaafat mein ghar se nikla tha,
khabar nahin hai ki sooraj kidhar se nikla tha.
Ye kaun phir se unhi raaston mein chhod gaya,
abhi abhi toh azaab-e safar se nikla tha.
Ye teer dil mein magar be-sabab nahin utra,
koi toh harf lab-e chaaragar se nikla tha.
Ye ab jo aag bana shehar shehar phila hai,
yehi dhuaan mere deewaar-o dar se nikla tha.
Main raat toot ke roya toh chain se soya,
ki dil ka zehar meri chasm-e tar se nikla tha.
Ye ab jo sar hain khameeda kulaah ki khaatir,
ye aib bhi toh hum ahl-e hunar se nikla tha.
Woh qais ab jise majnoo pukaarte hain ‘faraz
teri tarah koi deewaana ghar se nikla tha. !!
