kabhi jalaya gaya to kabhi bujhaya gaya
tamam-umr charaghon ko aazmaya gaya

abhi wo chand falak se utar ke aaega
ye ek khwab hamein barha dikhaya gaya

kiya hai pyas ka shikwa jo aasman se to
sulagti ret ka manzar hamein dikhaya gaya

to raaz khulne lage sare khushbuon ki tarah
hawa ko jab bhi yahan raaz-dan banaya gaya

bujhe bujhe se the ashkon ke jugnu kal ki shab
tumhaare zikr se aankhon ko jagmagaya gaya

wahin pe raqs bahut wahshaton ka tha 'jyoti'
mohabbaton ka jazira jise bataya gaya
