khwabon ke sath zehn ki angdaiyan bhi hain
ek raushni bhi hai kai parchhaiyan bhi hain

ye kaenat khud bhi hai ek paikar-e-jamil
aur kuchh tere jamal ki ranaiyan bhi hain

duba hua hun qulzum-e-alam mein magar
zer-e-qadam hayat ki parchhaiyan bhi hain

jadu jagati raat ke sayon ke aas-pas
larzan tumhaari yaad ki pahnaiyan bhi hain

aata nahin shabab yunhi kaenat par
masruf kar-e-ishq ki barnaiyan bhi hain

sham-e-bala na mujh se chura is tarah nigah
tanha nahin hun main meri tanhaiyan bhi hain

hain teri anjuman mein hamein ek fasurda-dil
lekin hamin se anjuman-araiyan bhi hain

'hurmat' faqat bulandi-e-ehsas hi nahin
meri talab mein ruh ki gahraiyan bhi hain
