wo anjuman mein raat ajab shan se gae
iman chiz kya thi kai jaan se gae

main to gaya hua tha hazaron naqab mein
lekin akela dekh ke pahchan se gae

wo shama ban ke khud hi akele jala kiya
parwane kal ki raat pareshan se gae

aaya tera salam na aaya hai khat koi
hum aakhiri safar ke bhi saman se gae

'rahi' jise khuda bhi na samjha saka kabhi
baithe-bithae dekh lo ab man se gae
