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

aab-dar-ab mere sath safar karte hain

reaya zulm pe jab sar uThane lagti hai

usne ek bar bhi puchha nahin kaisa hun main

zehn par bojh raha, dil bhi pareshan hua

chashm-e-bina! tere bazar ka mear hain hum

panw jab ho gae patthar to sada di usne

dekhen kitne chahne wale niklenge

nazar nazar se mila kar kalam kar aaya

ek taswir jalani hai abhi

KHushk aaankhon se kahan tai ye masafat hogi

kaun sa main jawaz dun surat-e-haal ke liye

apni palkon ke shabistan mein rakkha hai tumhein

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

wo mere KHwab ki tabir to batae mujhe
