dayar-e-shab ka muqaddar zarur chamkega

main ek bund samundar hua to kaise hua

kabhi yaqin se hui aur kabhi guman se hui

din mein bhi hasrat-e-mahtab liye phirte hain

kabhi harif kabhi ham-nawa hamin Thahre

kami zara si agar fasle mein aa jae

nawah-e-jaan mein kisi ke utarna chaha tha

labon ke samne Khaali gilass rakhte hain

yaro hudud-e-gham se guzarne laga hun main

dekha jo aaina to mujhe sochna paDa

hamare sath umid-e-bahaar tum bhi karo

jo bhi anjam ho aaghaz kiye dete hain

KHub nibhegi hum donon mein mere jaisa tu bhi hai

kabhi na socha tha maine uDan bharte hue

kahin suraj kahin zarra chamakta hai
