dhire dhire shaam ka a.ankhon men har manzar bujha
ik diya raushan hua to ik diya andar bujha
vo to raushan qumqumon ke shahr men mahsur tha
saḳht hairat hai ki aisa aadmi kyuun kar bujha
is siyah-ḳhane men tujh ko jagna hai raat bhar
in sitaron ko na be-maqsad hatheli par bujha
zehn ki avargi ko bhi panahen chahiye
yuun na sham.on ko kisi dahliz par rakh kar bujha
aur bhi ghar the hava ki zad pe basti men ‘shafaq’
mere hi ghar ka diya tufan men akasr bujha
