yas mein bedari-e-ehsas ka aalam na puchh

paDh rahi hain raat ki KHamoshiyan afsun-e-KHwab

dehli ka ek rais ba-hangam-e-jaan-kani

rail ne siTi bajai shor o daman chal diye

aasman par hain KHiraman abr-paron ke hujum

bhure bhure baadalon se aasman labrez hai

hauz mein gir paDa gulab ka phul

muflisi aur isMein ghar par ham-nashinon ka hujum

ro raha tha god mein amman ki ek tifl-e-hasin

chum kar us but ki peshani ko pachhtana paDa

jab kisi ki yaad aa kar tilmila jata hai dil

hawa ke sayyal bazuon par ghaTa ke shab-rang karwan hain

muflisi ke waqt akasr ishrat-e-rafta ki yaad

jab koi jugnu chamakta hai andheri raat mein

garmiyan habs raat tariki
