kha ke kal ho pech-o-tab utha jo dil se nala tha
ja ke gardun pe chamakta shola-e-jawwala tha

khwab mein bosa liya tha raat ba-lab-e-nazuki
subh dam dekha to us ke honth pe but-khala tha

wah ri afsurdagi is khatir-e-dil-gir ki
ashk ka qatra jo tapka chashm se so zhaala tha

thi khayale-e-mah-rukhan se shab baghal labrez nur
aab se khali wa-lekin mai ba-rang-e-haala tha

kal ba-rang-e-ghuncha thi kis ko majal-e-guftugu
baat jab karta tha munh mein dil ka yak parkala tha

bad-gumani se dara warna liya tera jo nam
dekhna bose ki khatir main lab-e-dallala tha
