misal-e-shama jala hun dhuan sa bikhra hun

mere wajud ko parchhaiyon ne toD diya

ab to ashkon ki rawani mein na rakkhi jae

mujhe udas kar gae ho KHush raho

dastanon mein mile the dastan rah jaenge

milne ka bhi aaKHir koi imkan banate

KHumar-e-shab mein tera nam lab pe aaya kyun

main jis jagah hun wahan bud-o-bash kis ki hai

humne kisi ki yaad mein akasr sharab pi

kahin se nile kahin se kale paDe hue hain

KHizan ka rang daraKHton pe aa ke baiTh gaya

zindagani ko adam-abaad le jaane laga

apne hone ke jo aasar banane hain mujhe

tumne puchha hai to ahwal bata dete hain

shauqin mizajon ke rangin tabiat ke
