maqam-e-nur ho kar rah gaya hai
charagh-e-shauq jala kar kahan se jaana tha
kahin rukne lagi hai kashti-e-umr-e-rawan shayad
naya paiman raushan kar gaya hai
jo shaKHs rah banata raha daraKHton mein
hamein usne sabhi ahwal se anjaan rakkha
hudud-e-jaan mein had-e-na-rasa se aaya hun
ye marhala hai mere aazmae jaane ka
ek qatra-e-mani se afkar ka dariya ho
makan nazdik hai ya la-makan nazdik paDta hai
kabhi main chup kabhi harf-e-bayan mein rahta hun
kab tak mahkegi be-as gulabon mein
wo mere hisab mein intiha nahin chahta
mujhe is KHwab ne ek arse tak be-tab rakkha hai
jab ek bar kisi intiha pe ja Thahre
