koi dil mein sama gaya hua tha

guman KHak mein sab ke milane wala hai

koi gulab kabhi us ka dil dukhaya tha

jab aaftab ghar pe bulaya tha sham ne

aks-e-gul hun ki naqsh-e-hairat hun

mere nasib ka hai ya sitara KHwab ka hai

dil o nigah mein kuchh is tarah sama gai hai

jab se is shahr-e-be-makan mein hun

kinar-e-sham kya jalne laga hai

suraj ne jab shab ka labaada pahan liya tha

tere firaq mein jo aankh se rawan hua hai

sham kinare utra main

salib-e-dard pe wara gaya tha kyun mujhko

sae ko dhup dhup ko saya bana liya

koi ruswai hai na shohrat hai
