mujhko bhi jagne ki aziyyat se de najat

ye bhi raha hai kucha-e-jaanan mein apna rang

palaT chalen ki ghalat aa gae hamin shayad

apni taswir banaoge to hoga ehsas

ajab junun hai ye intiqam ka jazba

ye alag baat ki main nuh nahin tha lekin

purane ahd mein bhi dushmani thi

tamam-shahr mein kis tarah chandni phaili

jawanon mein tasadum kaise rukta

ghar se kis tarah main niklun ki ye maddham sa charagh

is kar-e-agahi ko junun kah rahe hain log

karne ko raushni ke taaqub ka tajraba

main jise DhunDne nikla tha use pa na saka

is raste mein jab koi saya na paega

hua ujala to hum un ke nam bhul gae
