maqam-e-nur ho kar rah gaya hai
charagh-e-shauq jala raat ke asar se nikal
darun-e-jaan ka shagufa jala hua nikla
zamin ke hath mein hun aur na aasman ke hi
ye marhala hai mere aazmae jaane ka
jo shaKHs rah banata raha daraKHton mein
charagh-e-shauq jala kar kahan se jaana tha
wo mere hisab mein intiha nahin chahta
ek qatra-e-mani se afkar ka dariya ho
kahin rukne lagi hai kashti-e-umr-e-rawan shayad
mujhe is KHwab ne ek arse tak be-tab rakkha hai
naya paiman raushan kar gaya hai
makan nazdik hai ya la-makan nazdik paDta hai
hudud-e-jaan mein had-e-na-rasa se aaya hun
hamein usne sabhi ahwal se anjaan rakkha
