kaha hai main ne ye kab mahtab mil jae
mujhe to bas meri aankhon ka khwab mil jae

main is gali se yahi soch kar guzarta hun
kitab-e-zist ka gum-gashta bab mil jae

sabhi gunah main hans kar qubul kar lunga
faqih-e-shahr ka tujh ko khitab mil jae

mile faqat mere hisse ki raushni mujh ko
talab kahan hai koi aaftab mil jae

ba-qadr-e-zarf hi garche sawal hai mera
ajab nahin ki mujhe be-hisab mil jae

main bahr-e-fikr mein hun gharq is liye 'nayab'
guhar mujhe bhi koi zer-e-ab mil jae
