kai azab-ruton ka itab baqi hai
kuchh aarizon ka bhi to ehtisab baqi hai

ye kya ki shab ki asiri mein qaid ho jaen
yaqin hai jabki rukh-e-mahtab baqi hai

padaw dal rahe hain sahar ke agle qadam
meri zamin mein abhi iztirab baqi hai

main kaise man lun ai jaan ki harf-e-taza mein
tere junun ka wo pahla nisab baqi hai
