chamak chamak ke sitaro mujhe fareb na do

pyar ke rang-mahal barson mein tayyar hue

charagh KHud hi bujhaya bujha ke chhoD diya

be-tabi-e-gham-ha-e-darun kam nahin hogi

hijr ki raat meri jaan pe bani ho jaise

ye kis gham se aqidat ho gai hai

umr jitni bhi kaTi uske bharose pe kaTi

ye soch kar ki teri jabin par na bal paDe

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

is bhare shahr mein aaram main kaise paun

wo ja chuka hai to kyun be-qarar itne ho

jo shajar sukh gaya hai wo hara kaise ho

is doshiza miTTi par naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa koi bhi nahin

dekh ab apne hayule ko fana hote hue

kamron mein chhupne ke din hain aur na barahana raaten hain
