din ki bedard thakan chehre pe le kar mat ja

sadiyon tawil raat ke zanu se sar uTha

shahr-e-ghazal mein dhul uDegi fan banjar ho jaega

is daur ki palkon pe hain aansu ki tarah hum

phir mere sar pe kaDi dhup ki bauchhaar giri

diwaron se mil kar rona achchha lagta hai

ye zindagi hai ki aaseb ka safar hai miyan

wo ek KHema-e-shab jis ka nam duniya tha

chandni tha ki ghazal tha ki saba tha kya tha

tu apne phul se honTon ko raegan mat kar

dasht-e-tanhai mein kal raat hawa kaisi thi

teri gali mein tamasha kiye zamana hua

apni tanhai ki palkon ko bhigo lun pahle
