Poet
dhuul ankhon men paḌi ho jaise
har koi aur koi ho jaise
saa.e ke saath lage rahte hain
ye bhi apna hi koi ho jaise
paanv phaila.e paḌi hai ummid
muddaton pau na phaTi ho jaise
apni har baat pe hota hai guman
ham ne pahle bhi kahi ho jaise
hansne lagte hain to dhamkati hai
zindagi ham se baḌi ho jaise
dard ko ajnabi kahne vaale
tu ne avaz na di ho jaise
pau phaTe ḳhush hain ki vo aa.ega
aaj ki raat abhi ho jaise
haa.e vo niind uḌati ankhen
ḳhvab men umr kaTi ho jaise
is tarah aaya hai milne mujh se
mujh se milte hi bani ho jaise
har kisi chehre se uThti hai lapak
shahr men aag lagi ho jaise
dil men utre to chhupa kar rakhiye
raat hiire ki kani ho jaise
hijr ki raat aur ‘ashk’ itni sust
vaqt ki choT lagi ho jaise
