umr sari yun shab-e-hijr mein bitegi kya
koi dastak si tere dil pe nahin hoti kya

apne pahlu mein utarte hue dekha hai qamar
hogi is khwab ki tabir kabhi puri kya

itne hairan ho tum kis liye aakhir sahab
kaun si duniya se ho dhup nahin dekhi kya

ek musawwir meri taswir bana kar haara
kuchiyan rangon ki maujon pe kabhi chalti kya

phir tumhein ilm samundar ke namak ka hoga
os aankhon se kisi ki kabhi tum ne pi kya

ye jo hangama bapa rahta hai din-raat ‘kamal’
mere dil mein koi rahne laga hai wahshi kya
