dhup bhi chandni hai saya-e-ashjar se dekh

hawas jalwa nahin zauq-e-tamasha bhi nahin

ek raat aapne ummid pe kya rakkha hai

jin zaKHmon par tha naz hamein wo zaKHm bhi bharte jate hain

mana ki mere zarf se baDh kar mujhe na do

baDe KHulus se daman pasarta hai koi

chhoD dun shahr tera chhoD dun duniya teri

dil-shikasta hue TuTa hua paiman bane

sambhal ai qadam ki ye kar-gah-e-nishat-o-gham hai KHabar bhi hai

ujala chhin raha hai raushni taqsim hoti hai

koi tanhai ka ehsas dilata hai mujhe

soz-e-dua se saz-e-asar kaun le gaya

hawa ke dosh pe raqs-e-sahab jaisa tha

kya qayamat hai ki ek shaKHs ka ho bhi na sakun

sanson mein base ho tum aankhon mein chhupa lunga
