raat jab TuT kar bikhar jae

laga ke dhaDkan mein aag meri ba-rang-e-raqs-e-sharar gaya wo

ek band ho gaya hai to kholenge bab aur

jab bhi milte hain to jine ki dua dete hain

yun hi har baat pe hansne ka bahana aae

tanhaiyon mein ashk bahane se kya mila

bhul pae na tujhe aaj bhi rone wale

bikhra hun jab main KHud yahan koi mujhe girae kyun

wo mahtab bhi KHushbu se bhar gaya hoga

jang-e-hayat-o-maut mein kya kya nahin hua

mere andar jo ek faqiri hai

sahra-e-la-hudud mein tishna-labi ki KHair

sab hai fani yahan sansar mein kis ka kya hai

ashkon se kab miTe hain daman ke dagh yaro

mere zaKHmon meri ruswai ko wapas le le
