chashm-e-tar ko zaban kar baithe
haal dil ka bayan kar baithe

tum ne rasman mujhe salam kiya
log kya kya guman kar baithe

ek pal bhi kahan sukun mila
aap ko jab se jaan kar baithe

pastiyon mein kabhi gira dala
aur kabhi aasman kar baithe

aas ki shama timtimati rahi
hum kahan haar man kar baithe

ek pal ka yaqin nahin 'raghib'
ek sadi ka plan kar baithe
