khule asrar us par jism ke aahista aahista

koi to raat ko dekhega jawan hote hue

chahe ab aap bhi mujhe aaseb hi kahen

shama jalte hi yahan hashr ka manzar hoga

main chahta hun haqiqat-pasand ho jaun

kis liye wo shahr ki diwar se sar phoDta

udas chhoD gae kashtiyon ko sahil par

sari maKHluq tamashe ke liye aai thi

main apni jaan mein use jazb kis tarah karta

mayassar phir na hoga chilchilati dhup mein chalna

KHamushi hi mein sahi par kabhi izhaar to kar

aarzu ki be-hisi ka gar yahi aalam raha

kuchh tazkira-e-husn se raushan the dar-o-baam

umr bhar apne gireban se ulajhne wale

jaise munh-band kali raat ke virane mein
