wo raat kitni ajib thi
kat nahin rahi thi

ki waqt hi jaise ruk gaya tha
zaban chup thi

nigahen ek dastan-e-mahrumi-e-tamanna
suna rahi thin

bisat-e-aghosh bujh gai thi
hamara hi intizar tha

farsh-e-dil-bari ko
magar hum apni sharafat-e-nafs ki

giran-bariyon se majbur ho gae the
khud apni fitrat se

is qadar dur ho gae the
ki dil ki aawaz sun na pae

lahu ki gardish bhi waqt ke sath
tham gai thi

hum us ke haq mein wo aabla the
jo phutta hai na sukhta hai
