yam-ba-yam phaila hua hai pyas ka sahra yahan
jo kuchh bhi guzarta hai mere dil pe guzar jae
is dasht pe ehsan na kar ai abr-e-rawan aur
ho chuki ab shairi lafzon ka daftar bandh lo
pindar-e-zohd ho ki ghurur-e-barhamani
aaj ki shab jaise bhi ho mumkin jagte rahna
aankh ki qismat hai ab bahta samundar dekhna
ye shahr-e-rafiqan hai dil-e-zar sambhal ke
is shahr-e-KHuftgan mein koi to azan de
nala-e-gham shoala-asar chahiye
kya kya na zindagi ke fasane raqam hue
raat sunsan dasht o dar KHamosh
apna andaz-e-junun sab se juda rakhta hun main
manzil ke KHwab dekhte hain panw kaT ke
aae the tere shahr mein kitni lagan se hum
