tah mein jo rah gae wo sadaf bhi nikaliye
tughyaniyon ka hath samundar mein daliye

apni hadon mein rahiye ki rah jae aabru
upar jo dekhna hai to pagdi sambhaaliye

khushbu to muddaton ki zamin-doz ho chuki
ab sirf pattiyon ko hawa mein uchhaaliye

sadiyon ka farq padta hai lamhon ke pher mein
jo gham hai aaj ka use kal par na taliye

aaya hi tha abhi mere lab pe wafa ka nam
kuchh doston ne hath mein patthar utha liye

kah do salib-e-shab se ki apni manae khair
hum ne to phir charagh saron ke jala liye

duniya ki nafraten mujhe qallash kar gain
ek pyar ki nazar mere kase mein daliye

mahsus ho raha hai kuchh aisa mujhe 'qatil'
nindon ne jaise aaj ki shab par laga liye
