na ham-nawa mere zauq-e-KHiram ka nikla

hai bhare daraKHton ke bawajud ban tanha

wo raushni hai ki aankhon ko kuchh sujhai na de

harf-e-dil na-rasa hai tere shahr mein

ek guzarish hai bas itna kijiye

ukhaDte KHemon ka dard

aangan mein ek sham

be-adab sitaron ne

ishtirak

rishta gunge safar ka

kaha ye sab ne ki jo war the usi par the

wo mera jab na ho saka to phir yahi saza rahe

na itni dur jaiye ki log puchhne lagen

ek maine hi ugae nahin KHwabon ke gulab

jab hum tera nam na lenge
