chandni jis ki dar-e-jaan pe hum aksar dekhen
kabhi us chand ko bhi hath se chhu kar dekhen

kaise bhar len dar-o-diwar pe aawezan hain
jis taraf dekhen teri yaad ka manzar dekhen

kabhi barish ki bhi raaton mein na chamki bijli
yahi arman raha ghar ko munawwar dekhen

aankh khul jae to sahra ki zamin par hon qadam
nind aa jae to khwabon mein samundar dekhen

tut jaane ka bhi imkan bahut hai is mein
yun kamanon ki tarah aap na khinch kar dekhen

sham hote hi nikal aate hain tare 'fakhir'
ek sitare ka magar rasta shab-bhar dekhen
