Raat ki sari haqiqat din mein uryan ho gai

raat ki sari haqiqat din mein uryan ho gai
KHwab ki tabir paDh kar aankh hairan ho gai

har nafs sail-e-hawadis har qadam amwaj-e-gham
zindagi is daur mein tufan hi tufan ho gai

aarzu-dar-arzu baDhti gain mahrumiyan
har tamanna rafta rafta dushman-e-jaan ho gai

kitni be-mani rifaqat abr ke TukDon mein thi
dekh kar mere gharaunde barq-o-baran ho gai

wo tere bachpan ki chingari bhi thi mausam-shanas
jab jawan hone ke din aae farozan ho gai

soz-e-dil dard-e-jigar KHun-e-tamanna ashk-e-gham
ek laghzish kitne afsanon ka unwan ho gai
