Us Nigah-e-naz Ne Yun Raat-bhar Tajsim Ki

us nigah-e-naz ne yun raat-bhar tajsim ki

sab charaghon mein barabar raushni taqsim ki

raat pichhe paD gai thi KHauf ke sae liye

KHwab se aage nikal kar waqt mein tarmim ki

aaina ho jaega ye dasht mujh par ek din

girhen khulti ja rahi hain ahsan-e-taqwim ki

donon hi aa kar alif ki raushni mein zam huin

ek tajalli lam ki aur ek tajalli mim ki

shahd ka bhi zikr ho sakta tha hone ko magar

us ke lahje ke mutabiq baat chheDi nim ki

main hi tha apne muqabil KHwahishon ki Dor mein

haarna mushkil laga so jit hi taslim ki

dost lekin tujh ko ye izzat na ras aai kabhi

main ne apne aap se baDh kar teri takrim ki

sham hote hi charaghon ko sajaya taq mein

sara din so kar guzara raat ki tazim ki

umr-bhar suraj ke aage hath phailae magar

ek sitare ne mujhe ye raushni talim ki

khinch kar aflak pe ek surmai raushan lakir

chand ne surat badal Dali hamari theem ki

main ne 'zeb' us ko mohabbat mein kaha tha mujh se mil

us ne meri baat ki kitni ghalat tafhim ki
