Yun  to tanha hun magar phir bhi tanha nahin;
Tere saath guzaare hue woh pal to hai;

Dil ko behlaane ko koi teri tasvir na sahi,
Tere husn pe likhi hui meri ghazal to hai;

main gham ko apne seene  se lagaa leta hun,
Yeh soch kar mera phi koi paagal to hai;

Kitni dhoop hai zindagi ki viraan raahon me,
Shukr  teri  yaadon ka sar pe baadal to hai;

Mere chehre par udaasi  adhuri hai to kya,
Meri aankh ka har aansu mukammal to hai;

Maine yeh soch kar apne qaatil ko baksh diya,
Hisaab ke waste qayaamat ka kal to hai;
