dard ka aabshaar jari hai
tum bhi ho raat bhi tumhaari hai

subh ki nind waqt ki khushbu
tum thahar jao to hamari hai

teri har baat jabr ki paband
teri har baat ikhtiyari hai

kis ne ye faisla kiya hoga
kyun meri zindagi tumhaari hai

sher ke dakhli tarannum mein
ek sukun-khez be-qarari hai

raat-din us ko yaad karta hun
waqt par jis ki shahryari hai

jagmagata hai aasman 'munir'
aur andhera gali pe tari hai
