shab-e-siyah ka aanchal sarak chuka hai bahut
andheri raat mein jugnu chamak chuka hai bahut

rais-e-shahr mera aur imtihan na le
ki mere sabr ka saghar chhalak chuka hai bahut

na kaam aaegi ab sham-e-dil ki tabani
talluqat ka shoala bhadak chuka hai bahut

chale bhi aao ki mil kar manaen jashn-e-bahaar
hamare shauq ka ghuncha chatak chuka hai bahut

tumhaare rishte ki ab parwarish nahin mumkin
ki mere dil mein ye kanta khatak chuka hai bahut

mila na kuchh bhi use meri khamiyon ka suragh
wo meri zat ki mitti phatak chuka hai bahut

bata de manzil-e-maqsud ka nishan us ko
ki apni rah se insan bhatak chuka hai bahut

usul-e-mai-kashi 'masum' ko sikhaen na aap
wo pi chuka hai bahut aur bahak chuka hai bahut
