dil ki khalish

Apne haalaat ki saaqi ko khabar hone tak
Main chhalakta hoon kyon har raat sahar hone tak

Waqfa-e-dhadkano me bhi kyon dil dhadakta hai
Ashq behte hain kyon khoon se tar hone tak

Baad muddat ke mujhe ab ye 'khayaal' aaya hai
Chaand bhi rehta hai maayoos badar hone tak

Main jo gumsum hoon koyi baat zaroori to nahi
Waqt lagta hai magar khatm-e-asar hone tak..

'Khayaal'
