gharon mein shor-e-munajat be-sabab to nahin
kahin wo rahib-e-sad-sala jaan-balab to nahin

charagh le ke gharon se nikalte hain chup-chap
samajh raha hun jise din wo nim-shab to nahin

use bhi bazm se uthwate hain qayamat hai
unhen bhi 'ilm hai haq-go hai be-adab to nahin

badan ke zakhm sitaron ki tarh raushan hain
kahan sidhaarun yahi hasil-e-talab to nahin

main us ke sath safar mein hun ek zamane se
mere khuda ye sahar-na-shanas shab to nahin
