tutti reza reza simatti hui saaton ki
koi sath-e-sada nahin

ek waqfa ka daman bhi dhabbon se khali nahin
ye nazar ka nahin

asl mein ek tazad-e-nazar ka karishma hai
warna ye auraq-e-mahtab bhi

jitne lagte hain ujle nahin
munh khuli aur ladki hui raat se

lamha lamha bhabakti hui raushnai
bahut tez hai

raat ke koele
jab shuruat taqrib ke dhime dhime sulagte alaw mein

jalne lagen us ghadi
aur jab beach ke marhale mein dahakne lagen us ghadi

aur jab khatm taqrib ki rakh mein aankh milne lagen
is ghadi bhi safedi ka khalis tasawwur nahin

apni marzi ki be-dagh taswir ke waste
canwas koi sada nahin
