ek hujum-e-girya ki har nazar tamashai
der se kharabon mein hai asir tanhai

dil ki sham ki surat zakhm zakhm sannata
jaan ki shor-e-wahshat mein subh ki tamannai

kakul-e-khizan tere be-sabab ulajhne se
chehra-e-bahaaran par dekh tirgi chhai

thi teri nigahon ke sail-e-tirgi mein gum
kab tere ujale mein khud ko main nazar aai

qurb tha ki aaina jaan talak bulata tha
hijr ne bhula di hai surat-e-shanasai

bab-e-rang ghunchon ke pairahan pe wa kar ke
khil rahi hai shakhon par dard ki pazirai

khush hun ek sitare par dekh kar makan apna
raat meri binai kaun si nazar lai
