qurbaten badh gai nigahon ki
ab haden khatm hain libason ki

dhup roke khadi hai kis ke liye
ye sar-e-rah qatar pedon ki

aur phailega aag ka dariya
aur jhulsegi khaal chehron ki

khud-kushi ka safar bhi sahl nahin
bhid si hai lagi sawalon ki

kaun khud mein samo saka hai kabhi
wusaten la-zawal lamhon ki

kab se dohra raha hun main 'muztar'
ek fahrist chand namon ki
