ghar se nikla to mulaqat hui pani se
kahan milti hai khushi itni farawani se
khush-libasi hai badi chiz magar kya kijiye
kaam is pal hai tere jism ki uryani se
samne aur hi diwar o shajar pata hun
jag uthta hun agar khwab-e-jahanbani se
umr ka koh-e-giran aur shab-o-roz mere
ye wo patthar hai jo katta nahin aasani se
sham thi aur shafaq phut rahi thi 'sarwat'
ek raqqasa ki jalti hui peshani se
