KHizan tujh par ye kaisa barg-o-bar aane laga hai

qirtas o qalam hath mein hai aur shab-e-mah hai

namak in aansuon mein kam na tha par nam bahut achchha

barun-e-dar nikalte hi bahut ghabra gaya hun

ek khula maidan tamasha-gah ke us par hai

nazm

na-tawan dosh par shaal

shab-e-hijran

qartaba mein

nazm

tera panw sham pe aa gaya tha ki chand tha

andheri sham thi baadal baras na pae the

ghira hua hun janam-din se is taaqub mein

koi zari suni nahin jati koi jurm muaf nahin hota
