raat raushan na hui kahkashan hote hue
ek inqalab ki yaksar tha uske jate hi
phul ne murjhate murjhate kaha aahista se
ek shama ka saya tha ki mehrab mein Duba
qadam qadam par tumhaari yun to inayaten bhi bahut hui hain
main sach se gurezan hun aur jhuT pe nadim hun
kar-e-zindagani ke shor-o-shar mein muddat se
apni kashti sar pe rakh kar chal rahe hain hum shahab
hum mein aur parindon mein farq sirf itna hai
dil sambhaale nahin sambhalta hai
