Raushni Mere Charaghon Ki Dhari Rahna Thi

raushni mere charaghon ki dhari rahna thi

phir bhi suraj se meri ham-safri rahna thi

mausam-e-did mein ek sabz-pari ka saya

ab gila kya ki tabiat to hari rahna thi

main ki hun aadam-e-azaim ki riwayat ka naqib

meri shoKHi sabab-e-dar-ba-dari rahna thi

KHwab irfan-e-haqiqat ke tamannai the

zindagi aur meri rahbari rahna thi

aaj bhi zaKHm hi khilte hain sar-e-shaKH-e-nihaal

naKHl-e-KHwahish pe wahi be-samari rahna thi

saz-o-saman-e-tayyush to bahut the 'yawar'

apne hisse mein yahi harf-gari rahna thi
