khuli thi aankh samundar ki mauj-e-KHwab tha wo

ho chuke gum sare KHadd-o-Khaal manzar aur main

ek pili chamkili chiDiya kali aankh nashili si

murad-e-shikwa nahin lutf-e-guftugu ke siwa

sitamgaron ka tariq-e-jafa nahin jata

bujh kar bhi shoala dam-e-hawa mein asir hai

mujhse aise wamanda-e-jaan ko bistar-wistar kya

koi bhi dar na mila narasi ke marqad mein

jag ke mere sath samundar raaten karta hai

mauja-e-gham mein rawani bhi to ho

shahr mein humse kuchh aashufta-dilan aur bhi hain

marne ka sukh jine ki aasani de

gahri raat hai aur tufan ka shor bahut

Thahra wahi nayab ki daman mein nahin tha

raste mein kahin khona hi to hai
