KHud ko sharar shumar kiya aur jal bujhe

yun bhi hua ek arse tak ek sher na mujhse tamam hua

main bahaaron ke rup mein gum tha

ek andoh-e-be-qayas mein hun

main ahl-e-dahr ki nazron mein be-aqida sahi

mile hain pyar ke lamhe to un mein kho jaen

dohraun kya fasana-e-KHwab-o-KHayal ko

chehre shadabi se aari aankhen nur se Khaali hain

tumne kaha tha chup rahna so chup ne bhi kya kaam kiya

aa ja andheri raaten tanha bita chuka hun

mujhe mila wo bahaaron ki sarKHushi ke sath

gunj mere gambhir KHayalon ki mujhse Takraati hai

jaise kisi se wasl ka wada wafa hua

kul jahan ek aaina hai husn ki tahrir ka

sawal-e-subh-e-chaman zulmat-e-KHizan se uTha
