kat gain jab josh-e-izhaar-e-hunar mein ungliyan
tab kahin dubin mere khun-e-jigar mein ungliyan

dekhiye anjam kya ho ab wafa ki rah par
hum pe to utthi hain aaghaz-e-safar mein ungliyan

aakhir-e-shab mein diya khud ko banaya tha kabhi
aaj bhi jalti hain ummid-e-sahar mein ungliyan

likh rahi hain reg-e-sahil par anokhi khwahishen
aa gai hain teri baaton ke asar mein ungliyan

raushni likkhi hai main ne go mujhe malum tha
kat di jati hain is andhe nagar mein ungliyan

lash ke hathon pe hain kaise nishan zanjir ke
kis ki jaanib uth rahi hain is khabar mein ungliyan
