chuney se qabal rang ke pekar pighal gae
mutthi me aa na pae ke jugnu nikal gae
phele hue thay jagti neendon ke silsile
aankhen khulin to rat ke manzar badal gae
kab hiddat e gulab per harf ane paye ga
titli ke per uran ki garmi se jal gae
aage to sirf rait ke darya dikhai den
kin bastion ki simt musafir nikl gae
phir chandni ke daam me ane ko thay gulab
sad shukar neend khone se pehle sanbhal gae!!
