raat ek nadar ka ghar jal gaya tha aur bas

unki nigah-e-naz ki gardish ke sath sath

ahd-e-aghaz-e-tamanna bhi mujhe yaad nahin

adhura ho ke hun kitna mukammal

mauj-e-tufan se nikal kar bhi salamat na rahe

zindagi se koi manus to ho le pahle

kya baDhega wo tasawwur ki hadon se aage

jab maslahat-e-waqt se gardan ko jhuka kar

uski hansi tum kya samjho

hawaen rok na pain bhanwar Dubo na sake

husn-e-iKHlas hi nahin warna

kuchh to fitrat se mili danai

na-shanasan-e-mohabbat ka gila kya ki yahan

nigah ko bhi mayassar hai dil ki gahrai

tum hi ab wo nahin rahe warna
