na chand ka na sitaron na aaftab ka hai
sawal ab to meri jaan tere jawab ka hai

ye kis ne pairahan-e-khwab chaak kar dala
tumhaari aankhon mein ye khauf kisi azab ka hai

dua karo ki na ho qahr-e-izdi nazil
ye waqt apne gunahon ke ehtisab ka hai

kisi ne jaan hi luta di wafaon ki khatir
tumhin batao ki qissa ye kis kitab ka hai

saubat-e-safar-e-zist se nidhaal hun main
kuchh aisa hai ki mera aaina sarab ka hai
