shab ki aaghosh mein mahtab utara usne

sukut us ka hai sabr-e-jamil ki surat

KHun aansu ban gaya aaankhon mein bhar jaane ke baad

agar dasht-e-talab se dasht-e-imkani mein aa jate

ye mat kaho ki bhiD mein tanha khaDa hun main

chahta ye hun ki benam-o-nishan ho jaun

sari raat ke bikhre hue shiraaze par rakkhi hain

chand sa chehra kuchh itna bebak hua

ujala jab shab-e-zulmat par utarta hai

musalsal hans raha hun ga raha hun

ajib haalat hai jism-o-jaan ki hazar pahlu badal raha hun

darida-pairahanon mein shumar hum bhi hain

KHak uDate hue ye marka sar karna hai

ruh ke zaKHm bhar raha hai kaun

jitna tera hukm tha utni sanwari zindagi
