teri yaadon ke charaghon mein ye jalti hui raat

teri yaadon ke charaghon mein ye jalti hui raat
meri aankhon se chhalakti rahi dhalti hui raat
sam-e-imroz se mara hua haara hua din
kisi farda ki umidon pe bahalti hui raat


kabhi aankhon mein ruke koi guzarta hua pal
kabhi sanson mein atak jati hai chalti hui raat
na tala hai kabhi zakhmon mein sulagta hua din
na thami hai kabhi ashkon mein ubalti hui raat


mere hathon ki lakiron mein mashaqqat din ki
mere khwabon ke muqaddar mein hai dhalti hui raat
