maut ik geet raat gati thi
zindagi jhum-jhum jati thi
kabhi divane ro bhi padate the
kabhi teri bhi yaad aati thi
kis ke matam mein chand taron se
raat bazm-e-aza sajati thi
rote jate the tere hijr nasib
raat furqat ke dhalati jati thi
khoi khoi si rahati thi wo aankh
dil ka har bhed pa bhi jati thi
zikr tha rang-o-bu ka au’ dil mein
teri tasvir utarati jati thi
husn mein thi in aansuon ke chamak
zindagi jin mein muskurati thi
dard-e-hasti chamak utha jis mein
wo hum ahal-e-vafa ke chati thi
tere un aansuon ke yaad aayi
zindagi jin mein muskurati thi
tha sukut-e-faza tarannum-rez
bu-e-gesu-e-yar gati thi
gam-e-janan ho yan gam-e-dauran
lau si kuch dil mein jhil-milati thi
zindagi ko wafa ke rahon mein
maut khud roshni dikhati thi
baat kya thi ki dekhte hi tujhe
ulfat-e-zist bhool jati thi
the na afalak gosh bar aavaz
bekhudi dastan sunati thi
karavaten le ufaq pe jaise subah
koi doshiza ras-masati thi
zindagi zindagi ko vaqt-e-safar
karavan-karavan chupati thi
samane tere jaise koi baat
yaad aa-a ke bhool jati thi
wo tera gham ho ya gam-e-duniya
shamma-si dil mein jhil-milati thi
gham ke wo dastan-e-nim-shabi
aasmanon koo neend aati thi
maut bhi gosh bhar sada thi “firaq”
zindagi koi geet gati thi
