zulf ghata ban kar rah jae aankh kanwal ho jae
shayad un ko pal bhar sochen aur ghazal ho jae

jis dipak ko hath laga do jalen hazaron sal
jis kutiya mein raat bita do taj-mahal ho jae

kitni yaaden aa jati hain dastak diye baghair
ab aisi bhi kya virani ghar jangal ho jae

tum aao to pankh laga kar ud jae ye sham
milon lambi raat simat kar pal do pal ho jae
