suna hai raat pure chand ki hai

koi tamir ki surat to nikle

baat karne ka hasin taur-tariqa sikha

hum charaghon ki madad karte rahe

safar mein ab musalsal zalzale hain

kaghazon par muflisi ke morche sar ho gae

humne to pas-e-adab mein banda-parwar kah diya

main tha jab karwan ke sath to gulzar thi duniya

kitne logon se milna-julna tha

meri aawargi hi mere hone ki alamat hai

bataun kya tumhein hasil safar ka

dil ka sara dard bhara taswiron mein

aaKHir hum ko be-zari tak le aai

chand lakiren to is darja gahri thin

lutf to deti hai ye aawargi
