shabnam ki tarah subh ki aankhon mein paDa hai

baDa KHushnuma ye maqam hai nai zindagi ki talash kar

attar ke maskan mein ye kaisi udasi hai

jigar ko KHun kiye dil ko be-qarar abhi

jab apna saya hi dushman hai kya kiya jae

zulmat

dawam

aks-bar-aks

talash

be-qarari

tariKH bataegi wo qatra hai ki dariya

abhi sitaron mein baqi hai zindagi ki ramaq

gum-sum sa khaDa hai koi darwaza-e-dil par

main ujale ko mohabbat ka KHuda likhta hun

zamana tujhko harif kah le use ye haq hai
