wo zabt tha ki aah na nikli zaban se
na koi phul hi rakha na aarzu na charagh
kuchh aise kam-nazar bhi musafir hamein mile
rabta kyun rakhun main dariya se
utri hui hai dhup badan ke hisar mein
tahzib hi baqi hai na ab sharm-o-haya kuchh
ret ka hum libas pahne hain
aap dariya ki rawani se na uljhen hargiz
us jaisa dusra na samaya nigah mein
mom ke log kaDi dhup mein aa baiThe hain
hamari zist mein aise bhi lamhe aate hain aksar
sahra ka safar tha to shajar kyun nahin aaya
phaili hui hai chandni ehsas mein mere
main zad pe tiron ke KHud aa gaya hun aaj zafar
tu ne nazren na milane ki qasam khai hai
