muntazir dasht-e-dil-o-jaan hai ki aahu aae

ye na ho wo bhulne wala bhula dena paDe

asl mein hun main mujrim maine kyun shikayat ki

yun KHak ki manind na rahon pe bikhar ja

Dub jaenge sitare aur bikhar jaegi raat

dil se ye kah raha hun zara aur dekh le

thoDa sa rang raat ke chehre pe Dal do

hijr ki raat meri jaan pe bani ho jaise

isi bais zamana ho gaya hai usko ghar baiThe

wo ja chuka hai to kyun be-qarar itne ho

jo dil mein khaTakti hai kabhi kah bhi sakoge

zamin apne lahu se aashna hone hi wali hai

uThin aankhen agar aahaT suni hai

waqia koi na jannat mein hua mere baad

kitni be-nur thi din bhar nazar-e-parwana
