jise log kahte hain tirgi wahi shab hijab-e-sahar bhi hai

ye nikhaton ki narm-rawi ye hawa ye raat

dilon ka soz tere ru-e-be-naqab ki aanch

raat bhi nind bhi kahani bhi

ishq ki mayusiyon mein soz-e-pinhan kuchh nahin

tez ehsas-e-KHudi darkar hai

jaur-o-be-mehri-e-ighmaz pe kya rota hai

mujhko mara hai har ek dard o dawa se pahle

jahan-e-ghuncha-e-dil ka faqat chaTakna tha

apne gham ka mujhe kahan gham hai

ye maut-o-adam kaun-o-makan aur hi kuchh hai

hijr-o-visal-e-yar ka parda uTha diya

sar mein sauda bhi nahin dil mein tamanna bhi nahin

tumhein kyunkar bataen zindagi ko kya samajhte hain

nigah-e-naz ne parde uThae hain kya kya
