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

jab apna saya hi dushman hai kya kiya jae

jigar ko KHun kiye dil ko be-qarar abhi

dawam

zulmat

aks-bar-aks

be-qarari

shuur-e-dil se

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
