chhoTe chhoTe kai be-faiz mafadat ke sath

tilism-zar-e-shab-e-mah mein guzar jae

ghar ki dahliz se bazar mein mat aa jaana

aankhon se ayan zaKHm ki gahrai to ab hai

kaise kahin ki jaan se pyara nahin raha

aane wali thi KHizan maidan Khaali kar diya

teri rahmaton ke dayar mein tere baadalon ko pata nahin

shahr-e-hawa mein jalte rahna andeshon ki chaukhaT par

jaane kis chah ke kis pyar ke gun gate ho

bahut sajae the aankhon mein KHwab maine bhi

raste ka intiKHab zaruri sa ho gaya

na guman maut ka hai na KHayal zindagi ka

phul the rang the lamhon ki sabahat hum the

phulon mein wo KHushbu wo sabahat nahin aai

phir wahi lambi do-pahren-surmai hain phir wahi dil ki haalat hai
