sunte hain chamakta hai wo chand ab bhi sar-e-baam

ghar se us ka bhi nikalna ho gaya aaKHir muhaal

apni surat bigaD gai lekin

KHud ko pane ki talab mein aarzu uski bhi thi

luT gaya hai safar mein jo kuchh tha

wo jise sare zamane ne kaha mera raqib

pas hamare aakar tum begana se kyun ho

barson se khaDa hun hath uThae

wo bhi shayad ro paDe viran kaghaz dekh kar

baad-e-tark-e-ulfat bhi yun to hum jiye lekin

tanhai na puchh apni ki sath ahl-e-junun ke

na so saka hun na shab jag kar gizari hai
