Ek nazm subh ke intizar mein

kaT gai raat
magar

raat abhi baqi hai
hasrat-e-did abhi zinda hai

dil dhaDakta hai abhi
shauq-e-mulaqat abhi zinda hai

dil ke sahra-e-wafa mein hai ghazalon ka hujum
aur us chand ke pyale se chhalakti hai meri pyas abhi

zindagi aai nahin ras abhi
subh se pahli mulaqat abhi baqi hai

kaT gai raat
magar

raat abhi baqi hai
