uske chehre ki chamak ke samne sada laga

na jaane kab wo palaT aaen dar khula rakhna

hath hathon mein na de baat hi karta jae

chand phir taron ki ujli rezgari de gaya

raat ko bahar akele ghumna achchha nahin

abhi to dil mein hai jo kuchh bayan karna hai

gire hain lafz waraq pe lahu lahu ho kar

KHud ko hujum-e-dahr mein khona paDa mujhe

suraj nae baras ka mujhe jaise Das gaya

is qadar bhi to na jazbaat pe qabu rakkho

yun hai teri talash pe ab tak yaqin mujhe

apni majburi batata raha ro kar mujhko

libas-e-KHak sahi par kahin zarur hun main

nam bhi jis ka zaban par tha duaon ki tarah

kisi ke haq mein sahi faisla hua to hai

teri aankhon ki chamak bas aur ek pal hai abhi

tamam umr safar ka samar milega mujhe

is tarah soi hain aankhen jagte sapnon ke sath

tera hai kaam kaman mein use lagane tak

apna sara bojh zamin par phenk diya

lagega ajnabi ab kyon na shahr bhar mujhko

wo mila mujhko na jaane KHol kaisa oDh kar

mere nuqush tere zehn se miTa dega

sarae chhoD ke wo phir kabhi nahin aaya

jila-watan hun mera ghar pukarta hai mujhe

hai justuju agar isko idhar bhi aaega

hath lahraata raha wo baiTh kar khiDki ke sath

sham se tanha khaDa hun yas ka paikar hun main

mishal-e-ummid thamo rahnuma jaisa bhi hai

saza hi di hai duaon mein bhi asar de kar

ban gaya hai jism guzre qafilon ki gard sa

jaane walon ke liye tu aur kya le jaega

phul galon ko to aankhon ko kanwal kahta raha

na ho ki qurb hi phir rabt-e-marg ban jae
