us taraf tu teri yaktai hai

jism jab mahw-e-suKHan hon shab-e-KHamoshi se

raqs-e-ilham kar raha hun

hamein jab apna taaruf karana paDta hai

pahle qabristan aata hai phir apni basti aati hai

din ne itna jo marizana bana rakkha hai

charagh-e-shahr se sham-e-dil-e-sahra jalana

ayyam sirf sham-o-sahar ho ke rah gae

rah ki kuchh to rukawaT yar kam kar dijiye

jism ke par wo diya sa hai

wo mahfilen purani afsana ho rahi hain

jab usko dekhte rahne se thakne lagta hun

KHud se inkar ko ham-zad kiya hai maine

ye sare KHubsurat jism abhi mar jaane wale hain

umr be-wajh guzare bhi nahin ja sakte
