chandni mein rukh-e-zeba nahin dekha jata
mah o khurshid ko yakja nahin dekha jata

yun to un aankhon se kya kya nahin dekha jata
han magar apna hi jalwa nahin dekha jata

dida-o-dil ki tabahi mujhe manzur magar
un ka utra hua chehra nahin dekha jata

zabt-e-gham han wahi ashkon ka talatum ek bar
ab to sukha hua dariya nahin dekha jata

zindagi aa tujhe qatil ke hawale kar dun
mujh se ab khun-e-tamanna nahin dekha jata

ab to jhuti bhi tasalli ba-sar-o-chashm qubul
dil ka rah rah ke tadapna nahin dekha jata
