din-bhar ki daud raat ke auham waswase
thandi saloni sham ki khush-bu mein dhal gae

kirdar qatl karne lage log yun ki hum
apne hi ghar mein baith ke aawara ban gae

raqs-e-nasim-e-maut tha har-chand mukhtasar
dariya ke munh pe phir bhi uchhal aae aable

nazuk hai misl-e-mah magar surmai badan
ai jaan tujhe ye kis ne diye ghusl aag ke
