ujde hue logon se gurezan na hua kar
haalat ki qabron ke ye katbe bhi padha kar

kya jaaniye kyun tez hawa soch mein gum hai
khwabida parindon ko darakhton se uda kar

us shakhs ke tum se bhi marasim hain to honge
wo jhut na bolega mere samne aa kar

har waqt ka hansna tujhe barbaad na kar de
tanhai ke lamhon mein kabhi ro bhi liya kar

wo aaj bhi sadiyon ki masafat pe khada hai
dhunda tha jise waqt ki diwar gira kar

ai dil tujhe dushman ki bhi pahchan kahan hai
tu halqa-e-yaran mein bhi mohtat raha kar

is shab ke muqaddar mein sahar hi nahin 'mohsin'
dekha hai kai bar charaghon ko bujha kar
