ufuq par kaisa baadal chha raha hai
andhera raushni ko kha raha hai

talash-e-saya mein phir aao niklen
tanawar ped kata ja raha hai

ye mauzu-e-sukhan thahra hai goya
gharon ko kaun kyunkar dha raha hai

hadis-e-mausam-e-gul kya wo samjhen
jinhen khun-rang manzar bha raha hai

dil-e-shair dil-e-diwana thahra
hujum-e-shauq mein ghabra raha hai

baras jae to dukh ki gird baithe
jo tukda abr ka mandla raha hai
