charaghon ke bujhane ko hawa be-iKHtiyar aai

chehron pe likha hai koi apna nahin milta

jala hun dhup mein ek shahr-e-rang-o-bu ke liye

thakan ki gard se KHush-rang aahaTon mein aa

jaan-soz ghamon ka kahin izhaar nahin hai

Takra rahi hain tez hawaen chaTan se

chehron ko to paDhte hain mohabbat nahin karte

jab bhi aata hai wo mere dhyan mein

KHwahish-e-jaan ko aazmana hai

sahra ki dhup mein bhi shajar dekhte rahe

jab tumhein yaad kiya ranj hua bhul gae

KHayal ban ke wo mujh mein utar bhi aata hai

us ka lahja kitab jaisa hai

jaan KHud-shanas ho to dua mein asar bhi hai

hum apne dil ki dhaDkan mein ek tamanna lae hain
