jab aaftab ki aag is zamin ko chategi
makan ki khoj mein sadkon pe bhid bhagegi

main dekhta hi rahunga tere sarapa ko
jab aankh soegi meri nigah jagegi

jo das rahi hai abhi jagti nigahon ki
sawera hote hi wo raat zahr khaegi

jo sona chaho to darwaze band kar lena
khula rahega ye kamra to dhup jhankegi

labon pe nind ka ghalbe agar hua 'shaariq'
yaqin hai mere qalam ki zaban jagegi
