Ajab Junoon-e Musaafat Mein Ghar Se Nikla Tha

Ajab junoon-e musaafat mein ghar se nikla tha,

khabar nahin hai ki sooraj kidhar se nikla tha.

Ye kaun phir se unhi raaston mein chhod gaya,

abhi abhi toh azaab-e safar se nikla tha.

Ye teer dil mein magar be-sabab nahin utra,

koi toh harf lab-e chaaragar se nikla tha.

Ye ab jo aag bana shehar shehar phila hai,

yehi dhuaan mere deewaar-o dar se nikla tha.

Main raat toot ke roya toh chain se soya,

ki dil ka zehar meri chasm-e tar se nikla tha.

Ye ab jo sar hain khameeda kulaah ki khaatir,

ye aib bhi toh hum ahl-e hunar se nikla tha.

Woh qais ab jise majnoo pukaarte hain ‘faraz

teri tarah koi deewaana ghar se nikla tha
