shab Dhali meri aur sahar na hui
mujhko ek arsa-e-dil-gir mein rakkha gaya tha
ai dard na tham sar aur uTha dil chaaragari ki rah na tak
usne kyun sab se juda meri pazirai ki
aapne aaj ye mahfil jo sajai hui hai
shauq-e-warafta chala shahr-e-tamasha ki taraf
andaz-e-numu kaisa alamnak nikala
hamari tishna-labi ab subu se khelegi
a bulbul-e-KHush-lahn ye shirin suKHani dekh
khul gaya KHalwat-e-tanhai ka qissa ai hai
mere junun-e-shauq ko itni si kaenat bas
wo jo husn-e-kul ki dalil tha wo KHayal aa ke saja gaya
barson ke jaise lamhon mein ye raat guzarti jaegi
basti tamam KHwab ki viran ho gai
harim-e-dil se nikal aankh ke sarab mein aa
