dam ghanimat hai ki waqt-e-KHush-dili milta nahin

uske kuche ki taraf tha shab jo danga aag ka

kapDe badal ke aae the aag mujhe laga gae

chale le ke sar par gunahon ki gaThri

bacha gar naz se to usko phir andaz se mara

wo aarzu na rahi aur wo muddaa na raha

KHaridar apna hum ko jaante ho

jab ki be-parda tu hua hoga

tumhaari aur meri kaj-adaiyan hi rahin

jun hi zanjir ke pas aae panw

zulfon ka bikharna ek to bala, aariz ki jhalak phir waisi hi

bas hum hain shab aur karahna hai

ai gham-zada zabt kar ke chalna

kabhi to baiThun hun ja aur kabhi uTh aata hun

dilli hui hai viran sune khanDar paDe hain
