phenken bhi ye libas badan ka utar ke
kab tak rahen giraft mein lail-o-nahaar ke

taskhir-e-kaenat-o-hawadis ke bawajud
had pa sake na jabr-o-gham-o-ikhtiyar ke

bikhra hamesha reg ki surat hawaon mein
thahra kabhi na misl kisi kohsar ke

tanha khada hua hun main dasht-e-khayal mein
khamosh ho chuka bhi samundar pukar ke

'tanwir' aagahi den kahan tak hayat ko
be-nur ho chale hain diye e'tibar ke
