raushni jab mangte hain ye diye ki lau se puchh

lamha lamha sochne wali aankhen thin

aankh meri ulaT gai hogi

KHud ko jab KHud se kisi rose rihai dungi

durun-e-chashm har ek KHwab mar raha hai bas

maut bhi kuchh zindagi se kam nahin

apne qamat se baDa banta hai

qalam mein raushni kam aur dhuan ziyaada hai

in hawaon ki na lag jae nazar

yun shab-e-hijr bitai maine

nahin malum jine ka hunar kaisa rakha hai

titliyan jugnu shajar KHushbu parinde chhoD kar

kafan jab si rahe the log mera

jahez kam tha bahu aag mein utari hai

sard rahon mein bhaTakti hui shamon ki tarah
