chand ki kagar raushan
shab ke baam-o-dar raushan

ek lakir bijli ki
aur rahguzar raushan

udte phirte kuchh jugnu
raat idhar udhar raushan

raat kaun aaya tha
kar gaya sahar raushan

phul qumqumon jaise
titliyon ke par raushan

ladkiyon se galiyari
khidkiyon se ghar raushan

apne-ap ko ya-rab
ab to hum pe kar raushan

main darakht andha hun
de mujhe samar raushan

sher mat suna 'alwi'
dagh-e-dil na kar raushan
