shab-e-visal mein duri ka khwab kyun aaya
kamal-e-fath mein ye dar ka bab kyun aaya

dilon mein ab ke baras itne wahm kyun jage
bilad-e-sabr mein ab iztirab kyun aaya

hai aag gul pe ajab is bahaar-e-guzran mein
chaman mein ab ke gul-e-be-hisab kyun aaya

agar wahi tha to rukh pe wo be-rukhi kya thi
zara se hijr mein ye inqalab kyun aaya

bas ek hoga tamasha tamam samton par
meri sada ke safar mein sarab kyun aaya

main khush nahin hun bahut dur us se hone par
jo main nahin tha to us par shabab kyun aaya

uda hai shola-e-barq abr ki fasilon par
ye is bala ke muqabil sahab kyun aaya

yaqin kis liye us par se uth gaya hai 'munir'
tumhaare sar pe ye shak ka azab kyun aaya
