Shahab-chehra Koi Gum-shuda Sitara Koi

shahab-chehra koi gum-shuda sitara koi

hua tulua ufuq par mere dobara koi

umid-waron pe khulta nahin wo bab-e-visal

aur us ke shahr se karta nahin kinara koi

magar giraft mein aata nahin badan us ka

KHayal DhunDhta rahta hai istiara koi

kahan se aate hain ye ghar ujalte hue lafz

chhupa hai kya meri miTTi mein mah-para koi

bas apne dil ki sada par nikal chalen is bar

ki sab ko ghaib se milta nahin ishaara koi

guman na kar ki hua KHatm kar-e-dil-zadagan

ajab nahin ki ho is rakh mein sharara koi

agar nasib na ho us qamar ki ham-safri

to kyun na KHak-e-guzar par kare guzara koi
