kabhi jo us ki tamanna zara biphar jae
nasha phir us ki ana ka utar utar jae

charagh-e-shab mein to jalne ka hausla hi nahin
wo chahta hai ki tohmat hawa ke sar jae

zamin pe ghalba-e-shaitan falak bara-e-malak
bashar gharib pareshan ki wo kidhar jae

meri hayat ka suraj hai su-e-gharb magar
muhaal hai ki mera zauq-o-shauq mar jae

charagh-e-zehn jo raushan nahin to kuchh bhi nahin
wo tare tod ke lae ki chand par jae
