raat din ek bebasi zinda rahi
meri aankhon mein nami zinda rahi

haar jaegi yaqinan tirgi
gar musalsal raushni zinda rahi

pahle sannaton mein wo maujud thi
shor mein bhi khamushi zinda rahi

zikr hoga is ka bhi sadiyon talak
kaise kaise ye sadi zinda rahi

dard ko 'azar' dua main kyun na dun
dard hi se shaeri zinda rahi
