junun-awar shab-e-mahtab thi pi ki tamanna mein
ki bah kar rail mein ashkon ke hum the sair-e-dariya mein

hamari khak par aahista thokar mar ai zalim
mabaada shisha-e-dil tut chubh jawe tere pa mein

tumhaare aabla-paon ko jangal yaad karta hai
lahu har khar se tapke hai ab lag dast-e-sauda mein

ba-kaifiyyat tha az-bas raat mazkur us ki aankhon ka
bhari thi bu-e-nargis yak-qalam har jam-e-sahba mein

ghubar-e-ah-e-tufan se chhupi hai khak mein basti
ye 'uzlat' shahr mein tha ja raha nagah sahra mein
