Shab charagh

bason ka shor dhuan gard dhup ki shiddat
buland o baala imaraat sar-nigun insan

talash-e-rizq mein nikla hua ye jamm-e-ghafir
lapakti bhagti maKHluq ka ye sail-e-rawan

har ek ke sine mein yaadon ki munhadim qabren
har ek apni hi aawaz-e-pa se ru-gardan

ye wo hujum hai jis mein koi falak pe nahin
aur is hujum-e-sar-e-rah se guzarte hue

na jaane kaise tumhaari wafa karam ka KHayal
mere jabin ko kisi dast-e-ashna ki tarah

jo chhu gaya hai to ashkon ke sote phuT paDe
sumum o reg ke sahra mein ek nafas ke liye

chali hai baad-e-tamanna to umr bhar ki thakan
sar-e-mizha simaT aai hai ek aansu mein

ye wo guhar hai jo TuTe to KHak-e-pa mein mile
ye wo guhar hai jo chamke to shab-charagh bane
