raat-din is tarah guzarte hain
bigaD mein bhi banao hai aadmi ke liye
wafa ke wade hue zindagi ke KHwab hue
kabhi TuTa na afsun-e-sitam teri huzuri ka
aarzuon ke dhaDakte shahr jal kar rah gae
kitna hushiyar hua kitna wo farzana hua
hamara ishq hai tafriq in-o-an se buland
junun-e-rang ham-ahangi-e-mazaq tumhi
wahshat-e-gham mein sukun zist ko milta bhi kahan
na tirgi ke liye hun na raushni ke liye
humse ruKHsar wo lab bhul gae
dil-e-majruh jab bhi ek nai karwaT badalta hai
dar-o-zondan bhi jam-o-chang bhi hai
jalta raha wo umr-bhar apni hi aag mein
wo nazar hai suragh mein dil ke
