kase kajawe mahmalon ke aur jaga raat ka tara bhi

zard phulon mein basa KHwab mein rahne wala

amn-qariyon ki shafaq-fam sunahri chiDiyan

ghanTiyan bajne se pahle sham hone ke qarib

baad-e-sahra ko rah-e-shahr pe Dala kis ne

kanwal hon aab mein KHush gul saba mein shad rahen

azal ke qissa-go ne dil ki jo utari dastan

qaid-KHane ki hawa mein shor hai aalam ka

chandi wale, shishe wale, aankhon wale shahr mein

hawa ke taKHt par agar tamam umr tu raha

ro chale chashm se girya ki riyazat kar ke

dil ke dagh mein sisa hai aur zaKHm-e-jigar mein tanba hai

ghuncha ghuncha hans raha tha, pati patti ro gaya

harim-e-dil, ki sar-ba-sar jo raushni se bhar gaya

din ka samay hai, chauk kuen ka aur bankon ke jal
