KHizan ke chand ne puchha ye jhuk ke khiDki mein

sahil tamam ashk-e-nadamat se aT gaya

ye jalwa-gah-e-naz tamashaiyon se hai

tu ne kya kya na ai zindagi dasht o dar mein phiraya mujhe

naqab-e-ruKH uThaya ja raha hai

is but-kade mein tu jo hasin-tar laga mujhe

murjha ke kali jhil mein girte hue bhi dekh

gham-e-dil hita-e-tahrir mein aata hi nahin

aa ke patthar to mere sahn mein do chaar gire

ruKHsar aaj dho kar shabnam ne pankhuDi ke

KHirad fareb-e-nazaron ki koi baat karo

KHwab-e-gul-rang ke anjam pe rona aaya

raushan hain dil ke dagh na aankhon ke shab-charagh

wahan ki raushniyon ne bhi zulm Dhae bahut

shafaq jo ru-e-sahar par gulal malne lagi
