jalega chand sitare dhuan udaenge
hamare khwab teri aankh mein jab aaenge

meri nazar se wo chehre utar nahin sakte
jinhen ye ahl-e-nazar jald bhul jaenge

ghazal sunao bahalna bahut zaruri hai
hansenge log hum aansu agar bahaenge

phir aai sham darakhton pe ghonsle jage
magar hum aaj bhi ai dost ghar na jaenge

udas rahiye na ukta ke khud-kushi kije
wo din qarib hai jab aap gul khilaenge

kafan se kam nahin jade ki chandni 'rahi'
ab is ko odh ke hum kaise muskuraenge
