hain ab to hile-bahane ke qil-o-qal ke din
bhula ke rakh diye tu ne meri majal ke din

ki dukh ne kucha-e-shab par kar liya shayad
tulua hone lage is liye malal ke din

har ek lafz pasheman pas-e-ghubar-e-sukut
jawab ki wo hon raaten ki phir sawal ke din

charagh-e-saut-o-sada aaj kuchh munawwar hai
visal-e-shab ke qarin hain mere ghazal ke din

ye intizar ki ghadiyan ye shab ka sannata
us ek shab mein bhare hain hazar sal ke din
