raat mein bhi gaya
ek numaish thi umda tasawir ki

shahr ke chida chida muazziz khawatin-o-hazraat
chehron pe mauzun milawat

nafasat ki
sanjidgi ki

funun-e-latifa ke idrak ki
apni maujudgi se yaqin dusron ko dilate hue

kitne ba-zauq hain
kash khud bhi yaqin kar saken

raat achchhi numaish thi
main bhi numaish mein taswir tha
