azab-e-barq-o-baran tha andheri raat thi

kuchh aur tarah ki mushkil mein Dalne ke liye

jo kuchh nigah mein hai haqiqat mein wo nahin

asas-e-jism uThaun nae sire se magar

dil-e-muztar wafa ke bab mein ye jald-bazi kya

duniya se alaihadgi ka rasta

kisi tarah to ghaTe dil ki be-qarari bhi

kab bhaTak jae aaftab husain

abhi hai husn mein husn-e-nazar ki kar-farmai

firaq mausam ki chilmanon se visal lamhe chamak uThenge

har ek gam ulajhta hun apne aap se main

gae zamanon ki dard kajlai bhuli bisri kitab paDh kar

husn walon mein koi aisa ho

tere badan ke gulistan ki yaad aati hai

milta hai aadmi hi mujhe har maqam par
