jugnu guhar charagh ujale to de gaya

labon pe harf-e-rajaz hai zirah utar ke bhi

main chup raha ki zahr yahi mujhko ras tha

ba-nam-e-taqat koi ishaara nahin chalega

bichhaD ke mujhse ye mashghala iKHtiyar karna

ek pal mein zindagi bhar ki udasi de gaya

ajib KHauf musallat tha kal haweli par

hawa-e-hijr mein jo kuchh tha ab ke KHak hua

kaThin tanhaiyon se kaun khela main akela

ab ke barish mein to ye kar-e-ziyan hona hi tha

jab hijr ke shahr mein dhup utri main jag paDa to KHwab hua

jab se usne shahr ko chhoDa har rasta sunsan hua

KHud apne dil mein KHarashen utarna hongi

wo dilawar jo siyah shab ke shikari nikle
