pahna de chandni ko qaba apne jism ki

qismat hi mein raushni nahin thi

ye kis hisab se ki tu ne raushni taqsim

ya abr-e-karam ban ke baras KHushk zamin par

ab to aaram karen sochti aankhen meri

dhup ke sath gaya sath nibhane wala

thi nind meri magar usMein KHwab us ka tha

wo KHush-kalam hai aisa ki uske pas hamein

KHud apne gham hi se ki pahle dosti humne

uski aawaz mein the sare KHad-o-Khaal uske

lazim kahan ki sara jahan KHush-libas ho

manzar tha rakh aur tabiat udas thi

kaise kahun ki maine kahan ka safar kiya

safar tawil sahi hasil-e-safar ye hai

diye bujhe to hawa ko kiya gaya badnam
