Yeh daag daag ujaala, yeh sabkajida seharWoh intzaar tha jisaka yeh woh sehar toh nahiYeh woh sehar toh nahi, jisaki aarju leke chale theYaar ki mil jaayegi kahin na kahinFalak ke dasht mein taaron ki aakhari manjilKahin toh hoga shabesust mauj ka saahilKahin toh jaake rukega safinaaye gham-e-dilJawaan lahu ke pursrar shaahraao se jale jo yaarToh daaman pe kitane haath padeDayaare husn ki besabr khaabgaaho sePukaarati rahi baahein, badan bulaate raheBahot ajij thi lekin lekin rukhe sehar ki lagan
Bahot kari tha hansinaane noor ka daamanSubuk subuk thi tamanna, dabi dabi thi thakanSuna hai ho bhi chuka hai firaaq-e julmatu noorSuna hai ho bhi chuka hai visaale manjilon ka aamBadal chuka hai bahot ehale dard ka dasturNishaake vasl halaalo ajaabi hijr haraamJigar ki aag, najar ki umangDil ki jalan, kisi pe chha rahi hijra ka kuchh asar hi nahiKaha se aayi nigaare saba, kidhar ko gayiAbhi charaabe sare raah ko kuchh khabar hi nahiGiraani yeh shab mein kabhi kami nahi aayiNijaate dido dil ki ghadi nahi aayiChale chalo ki woh manjil abhi nahi aayi.
