bijli giri to soch ke sab tar kat gae
yak-lakht raushni se andhere lipat gae

sahra-nawardiyon mein to mahfuz the magar
shahron ke aas-pas hi kheme ulat gae

milne ko chand roz mile the sukun ke
din apni umr ke to bahar-haal ghat gae

sae ki phailte hi chale the zamin par
suraj ne junhi aankh dikhai simat gae

anjam-e-kar khud hi shikari the jal mein
'ejaz' ahl-e-jaur ke panse palat gae
