wo parinda hai kahan shab ko chahakne wala

safed phul mile shaKH-e-sim-bar ke mujhe

jabin-e-sang pe likkha mera fasana gaya

dhaar si taza lahu ki shabnam-afshani mein hai

thi nind meri magar usMein KHwab us ka tha

sitara to kabhi ka jal-bujha hai

suno ujDa makan ek bad-dua hai

wo din gae ki chhup ke sar-e-baam aaenge

uski aawaz mein the sare KHad-o-Khaal uske

uDi jo gard to is KHak-dan ko pahchana

baadal chhaTe to raat ka har zaKHm wa hua

din Dhal chuka tha aur parinda safar mein tha

tumhein KHabar bhi na mili aur hum shikasta-haal

tera hi rup nazar aae ja-ba-ja mujhko

be-sada dam-ba-KHud faza se Dar
