zikr-e-shb-e-firaaq se wehsat ussey bhi thi

zikr-e-shb-e-firaaq se wehsat ussey bhi thi
meri tarahan kisi se mohabat ussey bhi thi

mujh ko bhi shok thaa naye chehron ki deed kaa
rastaa badal ke chalney ki aadat ussey bhi thi

uss raat dair tak woh rahaa mehv-e-guftagu
masrooof mein bhi kam thaa faraghat ussay bhi thi

mujh say bichar ke shaher mein ghul mein gaya woh shakhs
haaalaankeh shehr bhar se adaawat ussey bhi thi

woh mujh se barh ke zabt ka aadi thaa jee gayaa
warnaa har aik saans qayamat ussey bhi thi ...
