sukut-e-shab ke hathon saunp kar wapas bulata hai

inkishaf-e-zat ke aage dhuan hai aur bas

rafta rafta KHatm qissa ho gaya hona hi tha

andhere mein tajassus ka taqaza chhoD jaana hai

hum tah-e-dariya tilismi bastiyan ginte rahe

is safar mein nim-jaan main bhi nahin tu bhi nahin

yahan to har ghaDi koh-e-nida ki zad mein rahte hain

tere badan ki dhup se mahrum kab hua

mere uske darmiyan ye fasla apni jagah hai

masala ye to nahin ki sin-rasida kaun tha

shayad meri nigah mein koi shigaf tha
