zabt kar ke hansi ko bhul gaya

hijr ki aankhon se aankhen to milate jaiye

did ki ek aan mein kar-e-dawam ho gaya

har dhaDkan haijaani thi har KHamoshi tufani thi

tiflan-e-kucha-gard ke patthar bhi kuchh nahin

kis se izhaar-e-muddaa kije

jao qarar-e-be-dilan sham-ba-KHair shab-ba-KHair

ajab ek taur hai jo hum sitam ijad rakhen

aaj bhi tishnagi ki qismat mein

aish-e-ummid hi se KHatra hai

aap apna ghubar the hum to

bazm se jab nigar uThta hai

aadmi waqt par gaya hoga

ye paiham talKH-kaami si rahi kya

furqat mein waslat barpa hai allah-hu ke baade mein
