raat raushan na hui kahkashan hote hue
ek inqalab ki yaksar tha uske jate hi
phul ne murjhate murjhate kaha aahista se
ek shama ka saya tha ki mehrab mein Duba
qadam qadam par tumhaari yun to inayaten bhi bahut hui hain
jab usne aane ka ek din idhar irada kiya
purane ghar mein naya ghar basana chahta hai
kaise pata chalega agar samna na ho
hum kisi saya-e-diwar mein aa baiThe hain
chhu ke guzra mujhe zamana sa
use dekha to har be-chehragi kasa uTha lai
main samundar na bana ju-e-rawan hote hue
aks dekha to laga koi kami hai mujh mein
qalam bhi raushnai de raha hai
achchha mujhe karta hai main achchha nahin hota
