aarzu thi ki tera dahr bhi shohra howe

yahi to gham hai wo shair na wo siyana tha

rashk apnon ko yahi hai humne jo chaha mila

wo kaj-nigah na wo kaj-shiar hai tanha

aankhon se Tapke os to jaan mein nami rahe

nida-e-taKHliq

be-iltifati

tashwish

ek daraKHt ek tariKH

KHema-e-yaad

mauja-e-ashk se bhigi na kabhi nok-e-qalam

panw se lag ke khaDi hai ye gharib-ul-watani

KHalwat-e-ummid mein raushan hai ab tak wo charagh

itna roya hun gham-e-dost zara sa hans kar

aa base kitne nae log makan-e-jaan mein
