aankhon mein chand khwab-numa tir gad gae
bahte lahu ke dar se papote sikud gae

main aag ke qarib se guzra na tha kabhi
thandak ki narm dhup se dhage udhad gae

kuchh bediyon ne khasta kiya jism-o-jaan ko
manzar tak aate aate mere panw jhad gae

kaisi dalilen kaisi munajat kuchh nahin
tujh se bichhadna tha jinhen khud se bichhad gae

mangi na thi dua kabhi main ne phir ek shab
uthne ki der thi ki mere hath jhad gae
