kahin se laut ke hum ladkhadae hain kya kya
sitare zer-e-qadam raat aae hain kya kya

nasheb-e-hasti se afsos hum ubhar na sake
faraaz-e-dar se paigham aae hain kya kya

jab us ne haar ke khanjar zamin pe phenk diya
tamam zakhm-e-jigar muskurae hain kya kya

chhata jahan se us aawaz ka ghana baadal
wahin se dhup ne talwe jalae hain kya kya

utha ke sar mujhe itna to dekh lene de
ki qatl-gah mein diwane aae hain kya kya

kahin andhere se manus ho na jae adab
charagh tez hawa ne bujhae hain kya kya
