koi shai dube to dariya mein lahar jage hai
kab azan murgh ke dene se sahar jage hai

kankari mare se pani mein asar jage hai
ek zara khwahish-e-parwaz se par jage hai

un ko mimbar ki bulandi se tashaffi na hui
jin ki aawaz pe tahrik ka sar jage hai

nind ki kai se bojhal hai har ek aankh magar
sang ke khauf se shishe ka nagar jage hai

lazzat-e-dard samundar se nahin sip se puchh
jis ki aaghosh mein qatre se guhar jage hai

rang-o-roghan ke badalne se bhala kya hasil
nannhi kilkariyan jage hai to ghar jage hai

phir khanghalne ko hai kya khitta-e-na-dida koi
phir kaf-e-pa mein sar-e-shuq-e-safar jage hai

ghar ke pichhwade mahakti hui sargoshi se
kitne bite hue lamhon ka khandar jage hai
