ajiib tarz-e-mulaaqaat ab ke bar rahii

tumhiin the badale hue yaa merii nigaahen thiin

tumhaarii nazaron se lagataa thaa jaise merii bajaaye

tumhaare ghar men koii aur shakhs aayaa hai

tumhaare ohade kii denen tumhen mubaarak

so tum ne meraa svaagat usii tarah se kiyaa

jo afasaraan-e-hukuumat ke aitaqaad men hai

takallufan mere nazadiik aa ke baith gaye

phir ehatamaam se mausam kaa zikr chhed diyaa

kuchh us ke baad siyaasat kii baat bhii nikalii

adab par bhii koii do chaar tabasare faramaaye

magar na tum ne hameshaa kii tarah ye puuchhaa

kyaa vaqt kaisaa guzarataa hai teraa jaan-e-hayaat

pahaad din kii aziiyat men kitanii shiddat hai

ujaad raat kii tanhaaii kyaa qayaamat hai

shabon kii sust ravii kaa tujhe bhii shikavaa hai

gam-e-firaaq ke qisse nishaat-e-vasl kaa zikr

ravaayatan hii sahii koii baat to karate
