ye jo raushni hai kalam mein ki baras rahi hai tamam mein

qindil-e-mah-o-mehr ka aflak pe hona

main so raha tha aur meri KHwab-gah mein

KHush-libasi hai baDi chiz magar kya kije

bujhi ruh ki pyas lekin saKHi

surma jis ke kinaron se palaT aate hain

subh ke shahr mein ek shor hai shadabi ka

le aaega ek roz gul o barg bhi sarwat

miTTi pe numudar hain pani ke zaKHire

do hi chizen is dharti mein dekhne wali hain

aankhon mein damak uTThi hai taswir-e-dar-o-baam

maut ke darinde mein ek kashish to hai sarwat

jise anjam tum samajhti ho

main aag dekhta tha aag se juda kar ke

nai nai si aag hai ya phir kaun hai wo
