raat aankhon mein khwab aae the
muskuraate janab aae the

jis mein marqum tha wafa ka sabaq
phir wo le kar kitab aae the

un ke honton ne jab ghazal chhedi
mere rukh par gulab aae the

phul khilne lage the sahra mein
samne phir sarab aae the

mere hisse mein har khushi i
gham bhi kuchh be-hisab aae the

mere arman bah gae sare
abr ban kar azab aae the

raste mein bikhar gai 'nikhat'
bas wo sukhe gulab aae the
