na tum mile the to duniya charagh-pa bhi na thi

aab-dar-ab mere sath safar karte hain

ye aarzu thi use aaina banate hum

sare zaKHmon ko zaban mil gai gham bolte hain

reaya zulm pe jab sar uThane lagti hai

zehn par bojh raha, dil bhi pareshan hua

wo mere KHwab ki tabir to batae mujhe

baDi haweli ke taqsim jab ujale hue

panw jab ho gae patthar to sada di usne

usne ek bar bhi puchha nahin kaisa hun main

KHushk aaankhon se kahan tai ye masafat hogi

ek taswir jalani hai abhi

dekhen kitne chahne wale niklenge

ye roz-o-shab ki masafat ye aana jaana mera

nazar nazar se mila kar kalam kar aaya
