aandhi ki zad mein sham-e-tamanna jalai jae
jis tarah bhi ho laj junun ki bachai jae

be-ab o be-giyah hai ye dil ka dasht bhi
ek nahr aansuon ki yahan bhi bahai jae

aajiz hain apne tala-e-bedar se bahut
har raat hum ko koi kahani sunai jae

sab kuchh badal gaya hai magar log hain ba-zid
mahtab hi mein surat-e-jaanan dikhai jae

kuchh sagharon mein zahr hai kuchh mein sharab hai
ye masala hai tishnagi kis se bujhai jae

shahron ki sarhadon pe hai sahraon ka hujum
kya majra hai aao khabar to lagai jae

nazil ho jism o ruh pe jab be-hisi ka qahr
us waqt dosto ye ghazal gungunai jae
