sitara-bar ban jae nazar aisa nahin hota

shab thi be-KHwab ek aarzu der tak

wo masiha na bana humne bhi KHwahish nahin ki

mila bhi zist mein kya ranj-e-rah-guzar se kam

KHushi ka lamha ret tha so hath se nikal gaya

ek gali se KHushbu ki rasm-o-rah kafi hai

kab mausam-e-bahaar pukara nahin kiya
