Shab Charagh

bason ka shor dhuan gard dhup ki shiddat

buland o baala imaraat sar-nigun insan

talash-e-rizq mein nikla hua ye jamm-e-ghafir

lapakti bhagti maKHluq ka ye sail-e-rawan

har ek ke sine mein yaadon ki munhadim qabren

har ek apni hi aawaz-e-pa se ru-gardan

ye wo hujum hai jis mein koi falak pe nahin

aur is hujum-e-sar-e-rah se guzarte hue

na jaane kaise tumhaari wafa karam ka KHayal

mere jabin ko kisi dast-e-ashna ki tarah

jo chhu gaya hai to ashkon ke sote phuT paDe

sumum o reg ke sahra mein ek nafas ke liye

chali hai baad-e-tamanna to umr bhar ki thakan

sar-e-mizha simaT aai hai ek aansu mein

ye wo guhar hai jo TuTe to KHak-e-pa mein mile

ye wo guhar hai jo chamke to shab-charagh bane
