main apni dastan ko aaKHir-e-shab tak to le aaya

dhuan cigarette ka botal ka nasha sab dushman-e-jaan hain

kyun mata-e-dil ke luT jaane ka koi gham kare

bhaTak jati hain tum se dur chehron ke taaqub mein

suKHan ke kuchh to guhar main bhi nazr karta chalun

zindagi jin ki rifaqat pe bahut nazan thi

sham ki dahliz par Thahri hui yaaden zubair

jala hai dil ya koi ghar ye dekhna logo

nazar na aae to sau wahm dil mein aate hain

apni pahchan ke sab rang miTa do na kahin

koi TuTa hua rishta na daman se ulajh jae

dur tak koi na aaya un ruton ko chhoDne

surKHiyan aKHbar ki galiyon mein ghul karti rahin

auraton ki aankhon par kale kale chashme the sab ki sab barahana thin

ajib log the KHamosh rah ke jite the
