ab unhen mujh se kuchh hijab nahin
ab in aankhon mein koi khwab nahin

meri manzil hai raushni lekin
meri qudrat mein aaftab nahin

tujh ko tartib de raha hun main
meri ghazlon ka intikhab nahin

ab suna hai ki mere dil ki tarah
ek sahra hai mahtab nahin

sham itni kabhi udas na thi
kyun teri zulf mein gulab nahin

yun na padhiye kahin kahin se hamein
hum bhi insan hain kitab nahin

kahkashan so rahi hai ai 'shabnam'
husn aangan mein mahw-e-khwab nahin
