hum apne kheton mein hosh boenge fasl-awar hawas denge
bikhar rahi hai jo quwwat wo phir munazzam ho
pani mein bhi pyas ka itna zahr mila hai
ghubar-e-nur hai ya kahkashan hai ya kuchh aur
tere bikhre lafz bhi afkar se aari nahin
sara din be-kar baiThe sham ko ghar aa gae
bosida KHadshat ka malba dur kahin dafnao
kisi pe bar-e-digar bhi nigah kar na sake
pesh har ahd ko ek tegh ka imkan kyun hai
shuaen aise mere jism se guzarti gain
andheri bastiyan raushan manare Dub jaenge
main apne waqt mein apni rida mein rahta hun
dekhne mein lagti thi bhigti simaTti raat
jo KHud ko paen to phir dusra talash karen
zara haTe to wo mehwar se TuT kar hi rahe
