paiham mauj-e-imkani mein

hari sunahri KHak uDane wala main

damak raha tha bahut yun to pairahan us ka

na jaane kal hon kahan sath ab hawa ke hain

main chup khaDa tha talluq mein iKHtisar jo tha

qadam zamin pe na the rah hum badalte kya

ali-bin-muttaqi roya

chand ki awwal kiran manzar-ba-manzar aaegi

dil mein KHushbu si utar jati hai sine mein nur sa Dhal jata hai

tamam rasta phulon bhara hai mere liye

sair-e-shab-e-la-makan aur main

idhar ki aaegi ek rau udhar ki aaegi

ye zara sa kuchh aur ek-dam be-hisab sa kuchh

faza ki phir aasman bhar thi

shoala idhar udhar kabhi saya yahin kahin
