girya-e-shab mujhe shab-bhar ko jagata bhi nahin
aur wo hai ki mere khwab mein aata bhi nahin

itna sauda bhi nahin hai ki dar-e-sang pe jaen
bar-e-sar hai ki mera shana uthata bhi nahin

dil-e-viran ko kaha us ne laga kar thokar
ab koi aisi jagah khak udata bhi nahin

itni fursat hi kahan us ko mujhe khak kare
aur phir barq se mera koi nata bhi nahin

kahna hota hai jo sab kah bhi wo deta hai magar
apne she'ron mein mera zikr wo lata bhi nahin

us ko ma'lum hai ashkon ki tapish ka 'alam
is liye mujh ko nigahon se giraata bhi nahin
