kai na-ashna chehre hijabon se nikal aae

rafta rafta manzar-e-shab tab bhi aa jaenge

hum is dayar ke is KHak-dan ke the hi nahin

ye tum har baat lafzon ki zabani kyun samajhte ho

wahshaten bhi kitni hain aagahi ke paikar mein

nai mushkil koi darpesh har mushkil se aage hai

koi sawal na kar aur koi jawab na puchh

andheron mein bhaTakna hai pareshani mein rahna hai

jo shab ko manzar-e-shab tab mein tabdil karte hain

ab andheron mein jo hum KHauf-zada baiThe hain

koi nahin tha mere muqabil bhi main hi tha

chashm-e-hairat sare manzar ek jaise ho gae

parinde be-KHabar the sab panahen kaT chuki hain

is intishaar ka koi asar bhi hai ki nahin

ragon mein zahr-e-KHamoshi utarne se zara pahle
