jab har nazar ho KHud hi tajalli-numa-e-gham

shuur-o-fikr ki tajdid ka guman to hua

tha pa-shikasta aankh magar dekhti to thi

jitne log nazar aate hain sab ke sab begane hain

koi dhaDkan koi uljhan koi bandhan mange

aai KHizan chaman mein gae din bahaar ke

raaz ubal paDe aaKHir aasman ke sinon se

kabhi salib ki surat kabhi hilali tha

wo khul kar mujhse milta bhi nahin hai

raaton ke andheron mein ye log ajab nikle
