hammam ke aaine mein shab Dub rahi thi

hum ko gali ke liye bhi lab hila sakte nahin

koi KHud-kushi ki taraf chal diya

taswir mein jo qaid tha wo shaKHs raat ko

dariya ki wusaton se use napte nahin

kis tarah jama kijiye ab apne aapko

bismil ke taDapne ki adaon mein nasha tha

khiDki ne aanhken kholi

phir koi wusat-e-afaq pe saya Dale

aawaz ki diwar bhi chup-chap khaDi thi

nind bhi jagti rahi pure hue na KHwab bhi

hudud-e-waqt se bahar ajab hisar mein hun

phir baalon mein raat hui

KHwahish sukhane rakkhi thi koThe pe dopahar

phulon ki sej par zara aaram kya kiya
