ek roz main bhi bagh-e-adan ko nikal gaya
todi jo shakh-e-rang-fishan hath jal gaya

diwar o saqf o baam nae lag rahe hain sab
ye shahr chand roz main kitna badal gaya

main so raha tha aur meri khwab-gah mein
ek azhdaha charagh ki lau ko nigal gaya

bachpan ki nind tut gai us ki chap se
mere labon se naghma-e-subh-e-azal gaya

tanhai ke alao se raushan hua makan
'sarwat' jo dil ka dard tha naghmon mein dhal gaya
