aankh har shab ko andheron ki qaba dhoti hai
khwab ki ret mein suraj ka shajar boti hai

ek gumnami ka jangal hun jahan shakl meri
apni pahchan ka har naqsh-e-yaqin khoti hai

dur an-dekhi si sarhad hai ki jis ke us par
koi basti hai jo raaton ko sada roti hai

sath-e-chadar pe shikan aur sar-e-baalin pe nasheb
ye to tanhai hai bistar pe mere soti hai

bhuli-bisri hui yaadon ki ajab bhid hai jo
dil ke darwaze pe har sham lagi hoti hai
