zikr-e-shab-e-firaq se vehshat osey bhi thee

zikr-e-shab-e-firaq se vehshat osey bhi thee
meri tarah kisi se mohabbat osey bhi thee

mujh ko bhi shouq tha naey chehrooN ki deed ka
rasta badal ke chalney ki aadat osey bhi thi

os raat dair tak voh rahaa mehv-e-guftugoo
masroof maiN bhi kam tha, faraGhat osey bhi thee

sunta tha voh bhi sab se purani kahaniyaaN
taaza rafaqatooN ki zaroorat osey bhi thee

mujh se bichad.r ke shehar maiN ghul mil gaya voh shaKhz
halaaN_ke shehar bhar se raqaabat osey bhi thee

voh mujh se bard.h ke zabt ka aadi tha ji gaya
warna her ek saans qayamaat osey bhi theee
