ab aksar chup-chup se rahe hai.n yuu.N hii kabhuu lab khole hai.n 

ai jazb-e-nihaa.N aur ko_ii hai ke vahii hai 

bahut pahale se un qadamo.n kii aahaaT jaan lete hai.n 

chhalak ke kam na ho aisii ko_ii sharaab nahii.n 

Gair kyaa jaaniye kyo.n mujh ko buraa kahate hai.n 

jab nazar aap kii ho ga_ii hai 

kabhii paabandiyo.n se chhuuT ke bhii dam ghuTane lagataa hai 

ko_ii na_ii zamii.n ho nayaa aasamaa.N bhii ho 

kuchh ishaare the jinhe.n duniyaa samajh baiThe the ham 

maut ik giit raat gaatii thii 

mujh ko maaraa hai har ek dard-o-davaa se pahale 

na jaanaa aaj tak kyaa shai Khushii hai 

na jaane ashk se aa.Nkho.n me.n kyo.n hai aaye hue 

raat aadhii se ziyaadaa ga_ii thii saaraa aalam sotaa thaa 

raat bhii niind bhii kahaanii bhii 

ras me.n Duuba huaa laharaataa badan kyaa kahanaa 

sakuut-e-shaam miTaao bahut a.Ndheraa hai 

sar me.n saudaa bhii nahii.n dil me.n tamannaa bhii nahii.n 

shaam-e-Gam kuchh us nigaah-e-naaz kii baate.n karo 

sitaaro.n se ulajhataa jaa rahaa huu.N

ye nikhato.n kii narm ravii, ye havaa ye raat 

ye to nahii.n ke Gam nahii.n
