shikasta-dil andheri shab akela rahbar kyun ho

abhi se kaise kahun tumko bewafa sahab

waqt KHamosh hai TuTe hue rishton ki tarah

kis KHata ki saza mili usko

aap ka lahja shahad jaisa tarannum-KHez hai

us se mat kahna meri be-sar-o-samani tak

kitab-e-zist ka unwan ban gae ho tum

bahaar aai to khul kar kaha hai phulon ne

ye shafaq chand sitare nahin achchhe lagte

zindagi aaj tera lutf o karam

shaKH-dar-shaKH hoti hai zaKHmi

kaise sahra mein bhaTakta hai mera tishna lab

tumhaare bina sab adhure hain jaanan

meri chahaton mein ghurur ho dil-e-na-tawan mein surur ho

ye raushni tere kamre mein KHud nahin aai
