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

aish-e-ummid hi se KHatra hai

aaj bhi tishnagi ki qismat mein

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
