itne pur-maghz hain dalael kya

lahu ka zaiqa hi jab zaban tak na gaya

har gumbad-e-be-dar mein bhi ek dar hai ki tu hai

wahi manazir wahi musafir wahi sada ka jada tha

niDar bhi zat mein apni hun KHud se KHaif bhi

aawaz de ke KHud ko bulana paDa mujhe

aabla hai ki ghaw jo bhi hai

yun to kya kya log chhupe the darwazon ke pichhe

aisi mushkil mein na jaan thi pahle

aisi bhi surat-e-haalat na samjhi jae

kis manzar mein kaise manzar ug aate hain

ek se jazbe KHun mein surKHi ek hi thi

jab na gumbad na sada raqs mein ho

yun to aksar dil bhi dhaDke chehre par

ek tamasha aur dikhaya ja sakta tha
