ek dhuan uth raha hai aangan se
hain abhi kuchh charagh raushan se

is mein shamil hai bu-e-aflaki
ye hawa aa rahi hai kis ban se

dene aaya hun fath ka muzhda
bhag aaya nahin hun main ran se

manzilon ki bhi aarzu hai bahut
dar bhi lagta hai mujh ko ran-ban se

ab bhi kya raat ke andhere mein
shola uthta hai gulshan-e-tan se

surkh-ru ishq ki badaulat hun
ki main is aag mein hun bachpan se

ye zamana hai chaplusi ka
hum to waqif nahin isi fan se

mujh se pahchan teri qaem hai
main tumhein chahta hun tan-man se
