wo chand hai to aks bhi pani mein aaega

ruKH-e-raushan ka raushan ek pahlu bhi nahin nikla

duniya ne zar ke waste kya kuchh nahin kiya

kal shab dil-e-awara ko sine se nikala

tum mujhe bhi kanch ki poshak pahnane lage

mujhe nahin hai koi wahm apne bare mein

phenk yun patthar ki sath-e-ab bhi bojhal na ho

gaDe mardon ne akasr zinda logon ki qayaadat ki

dahr ke andhe kuen mein kas ke aawaza laga

har kasi ko kab bhala yun mustarad karta hun main

pyase ke pas raat samundar paDa hua

ghaar se sang haTaya to wo Khaali nikla

is sal sharafat ka libaada nahin pahna

laga di kaghzi malbus par mohr-e-sabaat apni

sae ki tarah baDh na kabhi qad se ziyaada
