faza-e-sham ziya-e-sahar usi se mili

surKH mausam ki kahani hai purani ho na ho

ghaiz ka suraj tha sar par sach ko sach kahta to kaun

DhunD saya na shajar aage bhi

bazm-e-tanhai mein aks-e-shoala-paikar tha koi

muntashir har shai qarine se saja di jaegi

tauqir andheron ki baDha di gai shayad

hadson ka silsila manzar-ba-manzar jam gaya
