lab pe harf-e-motabar rakhta hai wo

main yunhi TuTta bikharta hun

mera dil bhi muamma ho gaya hai

shab-e-visal tulua aaftab kaise hua

talab se bhi kuchh aur ziyaada mila

dasht-e-gham aur har shajar tanha

mausamon mein hui hai sazish phir

aankhen khuli khuli hain nazar le gaya koi

shahr-e-dil phir mera viran hua jata hai

aks-dar-aks tamasha kya hai

wafa ka tana-bana DhunDhta hai

umid TuTi hui KHak-dan mein raushan hai

phir wahi baat ho gai hogi

jab se main KHud-shanas ho gaya hun

ye saat-e-rangini-e-afkar rahegi
