samundaron ko muhit thi chandni kanwal ki
hawaon ki batriyon se kirnon ki aankh chhalki

kashid karta hun jugnuon ki hararton se
hare farishton ki chob-dari mein zau azal ki

lahu charaghon ka munjamid tha giraniyon se
padaw dale thi gul ke roghan mein dhup halki

ye kachche patton pe lahariya narmiyon ki bunden
nihaal karne lagi jigar ko mithas jal ki

lawon ke sae mein qissa-khwan ki hikayaten hain
idhar khile gul udhar charaghon ki aankh dhalki

kise thi qudrat ki dol dale nazafaton ka
khuda ki chaupahliyon pe dachi udi ghazal ki
