Ek Khaali Chand Hi Lab-e-ju Rakhna Tha

ek KHali chand hi lab-e-ju rakhna tha

us ke hijr ka ye bhi pahlu rakhna tha

sab ka daman motiyon se bharne wale

meri aankh mein bhi ek aansu rakhna tha

suraj karna tha meri peshani ko

is miTTi mein ye bhi jadu rakhna tha

kis ki aankhen kahan ki aankhen harf huin

patthar the to KHud par qabu rakhna tha

kiya tha us ke nam ki lau ko raushan jab

dilon mein aks-e-KHiram-e-ahu rakhna tha

jab hasil la-hasil donon ek se the

phir KHud ko na asir-e-man-o-tu rakhna tha

yaad ka KHanjar utarna tha sine mein

der tak ek manzar ko KHushbu rakhna tha

ek aalam se bhar kar us ki jholi 'tur'

apni hatheli par barg-e-hu rakhna tha
