dil ki dahliz pe jab sham ka saya utra
ufuq-e-dard se sine mein ujala utra

raat aai to andhere ka samundar umda
chand nikla to samundar mein safina utra

pahle ek yaad si aai khalish jaan ban kar
phir ye nashtar rag-e-ehsas mein gahra utra

jal chuke khwab to sar nama-e-tabir khula
bujh gai aankh to palkon pe sitara utra

sab ummiden mere aashob-e-tamanna tak thin
bastiyan ho gain gharqab to dariya utra
