charagh-e-rah bujha kya ki rahnuma bhi gaya

dhanak dhanak meri poron ke KHwab kar dega

apni tanhai mere nam pe aabaad kare

kuchh faisla to ho ki kidhar jaana chahiye

waqt-e-ruKHsat aa gaya dil phir bhi ghabraya nahin

wo majburi nahin thi ye adakari nahin hai

pura dukh aur aadha chand

rasta bhi kaThin dhup mein shiddat bhi bahut thi

kamal-e-zabt ko KHud bhi to aazmaungi

KHayal-o-KHwab hua barg-o-bar ka mausam

sham aai teri yaadon ke sitare nikle

gawahi kaise TuTti muamla KHuda ka tha

samundaron ke udhar se koi sada aai

wo hum nahin jinhen sahna ye jabr aa jata

ilzam tha diye pe na taqsir raat ki
