chhote chhote tyauhaaron ki kaisi khushiyan thin
hum phuljhadiyan le kar sahn mein bhage phirte the

shab-e-baraat pe main ne bhi mangi thi ek dua
us ke honton par bhi kitne harf sunahre the

garmi ki tapti do-pahren aur pipal ka ped
meri dukhti aankhon mein sukh chain utarte the

ek jaisi be maqsad sochen ek jaise hangam
umr ke ek hisse mein 'farhat' hum bhi ladke the
