Kisi Ki Sada

raat ke pur-kaif sannaTe mein bansi ki sada

chandni ke sim-gun shane pe lahraati hui

gunjti baDhti larazti kohsaron ke qarib

phailti maidan mein pagDanDi pe bal khati hui

aa rahi hai is tarah jaise kisi ki yaad aae

nind mein Dubi hui palkon ko uksati hui

aasmanon mein zamin ka git lahrane laga

chha gaya hai chand ke chehre pe KHiffat ka ghubar

bazm-e-anjum ki har ek tanwir dhundli ho gai

rakh diya nahid ne jhunjhla ke hathon se sitar

zarra zarra jhum kar lene laga angDaiyan

kahkashan takne lagi hairat se su-e-ju-e-bar

yun fazaon mein rawan hai ye sada-e-dil-nashin

zehn-e-shair mein ho jaise ek achhuta sa KHayal

ya sahar ke sim-gun ruKHsar par pahli kiran

surKH honTon se bichhae jis tarah boson ke jal

gah thamti gah sannaTe ka sina chirti

yun faza mein uTh ke ho jati hai maddham hae hae

sham ki dhundhlahaTon mein dur koi karwan

kohsaron se utar kar jaise maidanon mein aae
