aao to mere sahn mein ho jaae raushni — Ashhad Bilal Ibn

ik lafz yaad thaa mujhe tark-e-vafaa magar
bhulaa huaa huun Thokarein khaane ke baa'd bhi

zindagi ki haqiqat ajab ho gai
aaj kal ho rahi hai basar khvaab mein

yaad rakhnaa bhi ik ibaadat hai
kyuun na ham un kaa haafiza ho jaaein

hosh-o-havaas khone lagaa huun firaaq mein
tanhaaiyon ne aisaa muqaffal kiyaa mujhe

tamaam din ki mashaqqat-bhari takaan ke baad
tamaam raat mohabbat se phir jagaaun use

saveraa le ke aataa hai mire khvaabon ki taabirein
magar jab shaam hoti hai to un ki yaad aati hai
