wo ghir ke aaya ghaTaon ki tirgi ki tarah

puchho mujhe ai ham-nafasan kaun hun kya hun

rahon ke unch-nich zara dekh-bhaal ke

nawah-e-shauq mein hai ek dayar-e-nikhat-e-gul

numayan aur bhi ruKH teri be-ruKHi mein rahe

pheri wala

zahr ka safar

raat

sham

subh

chhalki har mauj-e-badan se husn ki dariya-dili

shahr ke aabaad sannaTon ki wahshat dekh kar

main sargiran tha hijr ki raaton ke qarz se

do kinare hon to sail-e-znidagi dariya bane

man dhan sab qurban kiya ab sar ka sauda baqi hai
