ab qais hai koi na koi aabla-pa hai

is tarah ishq mein barbaad nahin rah sakte

kabhi sahra mein rahte hain kabhi pani mein rahte hain

tirgi chand ko inam-e-wafa deti hai

safar nasib agar ho to ye badan kyun hai

maine chaha tha ki lafzon mein chhupa lun KHud ko

band kar le khiDkiyan yun raat ko bahar na dekh

wo ek shor sa zindan mein raat-bhar kya tha

tamam umr nae lafz ki talash rahi

sham ne barf pahan rakkhi thi raushniyan bhi ThanDi thin
