tah-e-nujum, kahin, chandni ke daman mein
hujum-e-shauq se ek dil hai be-qarar abhi

khumar-e-khwab se labrez ahmarin aankhen
safed rukh pe pareshan ambarin aankhen

chhalak rahi hai jawani har ek bun-e-mu se
rawan ho barg-e-gul-e-tar se jaise saill-e-shamim

ziya-e-mah mein damakta hai rang-e-pairahan
ada-e-ijz se aanchal uda rahi hai nasim

daraaz qad ki lachak se gudaz paida hai
ada-e-naz se rang-e-niyaz paida hai

udas aankhon mein khamosh iltijaen hain
dil-e-hazin mein kai jaan-ba-lab duaen hain

tah-e-nujum kahin chandni ke daman mein
kisi ka husn hai masruf-e-intizar abhi

kahin khayal ke aabaad-karda gulshan mein
hai ek gul ki hai na-waqif-e-bahaar abhi
