Karb Chehre Se Maah-o-saal Ka Dhoya Jaaye

Karb chehre se maah-o-saal ka dhoya jaaye,
Aaj fursat se kahin baith ke roya jaaye..

Phir kisi nazm ki tamheed uthaai jaaye
Phir kisi jism ko lafzon mein samoya jaaye..

Kuchh to ho raat ki sarhad mein utarne ki saza,
Garm suraj ko samandar mein duboya jaaye..

Baj gae raat ke do ab to wo aane se rahe,
Aaj apna hi badan odh ke soya jaaye..

Narm dhaage ko masalta hai koi chutki mein,
Sakht ho jaaye to moti mein piroya jaaye.  

Itni jaldi to badalte nahin honge chehre,
Gard-aalood hai aaine ko dhoya jaaye..

Maut se khauf-zada jeene se be-zaar hain log,
Is almiye pe hansa jaaye ke roya jaaye.!!
