ab ke tajdid-e-vafa ka nahin imkan jana

ab ke tajdid-e-vafa ka nahin imkan jana
yad kya tujh ko dilayain tera paiman jana
yon hi mausam ki ada dekh ke yad aya hai
kis qadar jald badal jate hain insan jana
zindagi teri ata thi so tere nam ki hai
ham ne jaise bhi basar ki tera ehsan jana
dil ye kahata hai ki shayad ho fasurda tu bhi
dil ki kya bat karain dil to hai nadan jana
avval-avval ki muhabbat ke nashe yad to kar
bepiye bhi tera chehara tha gulistan jana
akhir akhir to ye alam hai ki ab hosh nahin
rag-e-mina sulag uthi ki rag-e-jan jana
muddaton se ye alam na tavaqqo na ummid
dil pukare hi chala jata hai jana jana
ham bhi kya sada the ham ne bhi samajh rakha tha
gam-e-dauran se juda hai gam-e-jana jana
ab ki kuch aisi saji mahafil-e-yaran jana
sar-ba-zanu hai koi sar-ba-gireban jana
har koi apani hi avaz se kanp uthata hai
har koi apane hi saye se hirasan jana
jis ko dekho vahi zanjir-ba-pa lagata hai
shahar ka shahar hua dakhil-e-zindan jana
ab tera zikr bhi shayad hi gazal main aye
aur se aur hua dard ka unvan jana
ham ki ruthi hui rut ko bhi mana lete the
ham ne dekha hi na tha mausam-e-hijran jana
hosh aya to sabhi khvab the reza-reza
jaise urate huye auraq-e-pareshan jana
