sham aai sehn-e-jaan mein khauf ka bistar laga
mujh ko apni ruh ki viraniyon se dar laga

ek lamhe ki shararat thi ki har lamha mujhe
aap-apni samt se aata hua patthar laga

dhund si phaili hui thi aasman par dur tak
mauja-e-reg-e-rawan mujh ko tera paikar laga

khana-e-dil ko sajaana bhi hai ek shauq-e-fuzul
kaun jhankega yahan ye aaine bahar laga

jagne walon ki basti se guzar jate hain khwab
bhul thi kis ki magar ilzam raaton par laga

khamushi ki chaar-diwari bhi shayad gir chuki
aaj jaane kya hua wo shakhs bhi be-ghar laga
