apne naKHun apne chehre par KHarashen de gae
hum apne kheton mein hosh boenge fasl-awar hawas denge
qayam-o-naql ajaib ke tarjuman to nahin
ghubar-e-nur hai ya kahkashan hai ya kuchh aur
bikhar rahi hai jo quwwat wo phir munazzam ho
pani mein bhi pyas ka itna zahr mila hai
kabhi sar pe chaDhe kabhi sar se guzre kabhi panw aan gire dariya
zara haTe to wo mehwar se TuT kar hi rahe
kisi pe bar-e-digar bhi nigah kar na sake
jo KHud ko paen to phir dusra talash karen
kabhi jo nur ka mazhar raha hai
sara din be-kar baiThe sham ko ghar aa gae
dekhne mein lagti thi bhigti simaTti raat
tere bikhre lafz bhi afkar se aari nahin
main apne waqt mein apni rida mein rahta hun
