aankh chura kar nikal gae hushyari ki
samajh gae tum bhi mauqe ki bariki

dariya par safar ki jab tayyari ki
mausam ne har bar badi ghaddari ki

ab lagta hai mud ke dekh to sakta tha
aakhir had bhi hoti hai khuddari ki

bar bar aakash ne ki aatish-bazi
raat manaya hum ne jashn-e-tariki

shayad sirf ujala kar ke bujh jae
shayad niyyat badal jae chingari ki

dhadkan ko laghzish ki chhut nahin bilkul
dil ne itni sakht hidayat jari ki
