kuchh dard baDha hai to mudawa bhi hua hai

gham ki tahzib aziyyat ka qarina sikhen

raat aisi ki kabhi jis ka sawera na hua

jins-e-giran thi KHubi-e-qismat nahin mili

haqiqaton se ulajhta raha fasana mera

kashti rawan-dawan thi samundar khula hua

bhaTak rahi hai andheron mein aankh dekhe kya

kashti rawan-dawan thi samundar khula hua

har dar-o-diwar pe larzan koi paikar lage

baam-o-dar TuT gae bah gaya pani kitna

bujhe bujhe se charaghon se silsila paya

sanson mein rag-o-pai mein samaya hai koi aur

shahar KHamosh hai sab neza-o-KHanjar chup hain

har marhale se yun to guzar jaegi ye sham

rag rag mein meri phail gaya hai ye kaisa zahr
