muskura kar un ka milana aur bichhadana rooth kar
bas yahee do lafz ik din daastaan ho jaenge
aakhiree vaqt talak saath andheron ne diya
raas aate nahin duniya ke ujaale mujh ko
ho ke majaboor ye bachchon ko sabaq dena hai
ab qalam chhod ke talavaar utha lee jae
tere firaaq ne kee zindagee ata mujh ko
tera visaal jo milata to mar gaya hota
zarre zarre mein mahak pyaar kee daalee jae
boo taassub kee har ik dil se nikaalee jae
gar tarannum par hee danish munahasir hai shairee
phir to duniya bhar ke shair nagma-khvaan ho jaenge
apane dushman ko bhee khud badh ke laga lo seene
baat bigadee huee is tarah bana lee jae
roodaad-e-shab-e-gam yoon darata hoon sunaane se
mahfil mein kaheen un kee soorat na utar jae
