kis ne dekhe honge ab tak aise nae nirale patthar

phirte rahe azal se abad tak udas hum

ye shab to kya sahar ko bhi shayad nahin pata

na puchh dil ke KHarabe se aur kya nikla

kabhi to khul ke baras abr-e-mehrban ki tarah

is haqiqat ka hasin KHwabon ko andaza nahin

raat ki bhigi palkon par jab ashk hamare hanste hain

aarti hum kya utaren husn-e-mala-mal ki

ru-ba-ru sina-ba-sina pa-ba-pa aur lab-ba-lab

ho gaya hun har taraf bad-nam tere shahr mein

kaun kahta hai ki benam-o-nishan ho jaunga

yun lahakta hai tere nau-KHez KHwabon ka badan

kabhi khole to kabhi zulf ko bikhrae hai

dekho ki dil-jalon ki kya KHub zindagi hai

saliqa hai mujhe taron se lau lagane ka
