sahar ka husn gulon ka shabab deta hun
nai ghazal ko nai aab-o-tab deta hun

mere liye hain andheron ki phansiyan lekin
teri sahar ke liye aaftab deta hun

wafa ki pyar ki gham ki kahaniyan likh kar
sahar ke hath mein dil ki kitab deta hun

guzar raha hai jo zehn-e-hayat se 'jami'
shab-e-firaq ko wo mahtab deta hun
