Be-bak Andhere

jab kabhi shab ke tilismat mein kho jata hun

ya tere husn ki aaghosh mein so jata hun

teri taswir ubharti hai pas-e-parda-e-KHwab

ek TuTe hue be-laus sitare ki tarah

chir kar sina-e-afaq ki tarik faza

az-rah-e-wafa teri taswir uTha leta hun

aariz-o-lab ke jawan git chura leta hun

dur tak jada-e-farda pe mahak uThte hain

ummid ke phul KHwab-e-farda ke gulab

jagmagate hain mere dal ke charagh

aur jab sarhad-e-idrak pe sine se lagae hue taswir teri

sans leta hun Thahar jata hun

na-gahan

aandhiyan chalti hain uDati hui dhul

gham ke tufan machal jate hain

teri taswir ke ubhre hue sab naqsh-o-nigar

ja ke bebak andheron se lipaT jate hain
