ye ujala har ek shai ko chamka gaya
simTe to aise shams-o-qamar mein simaT gae
ghamon ne is tarah ghera kabhi nahin hoga
kis qadar pyas mili aap ke maiKHane se
kise bataen mohabbat mein kya kiya maine
saz bane un ashkon se jo bahte hain tanhai mein
dilon ka haal wo be-etibar kya jaane
lambi thi umr mohabbat ki barbaad hue hote hote
silsila jab teri baaton ka jawan hota hai
zindagi ka nishan hain hum log
gulshan bhi sajae hain isne ye jhalka hai shamshir mein bhi
bahut pahunche to un ke kakul-o-ruKHsar tak pahunche
rahe hai aaj kal kuchh is tarah charKH-e-kuhan bigDa
zaban pe KHud-baKHud arz-e-mohabbat aai jati hai
mail jo aaj-kal nigah-e-nim-baz hai
