Aandhi ki zad mein shaam-e-tamanna jalaayi jaaye, jis tarah bhi ho laaj junoon ki bachaayi jaaye.

Aandhi ki zad mein shaam-e-tamanna jalaayi jaaye,

jis tarah bhi ho laaj junoon ki bachaayi jaaye.

Be-aab o be-giyaah hai ye dil ka dasht bhi,

ek nehar aansuon ki yahan bhi bahaayi jaaye.

Aajiz hain apne taala-e-bedaar se bahut,

har raat hum ko koi kahaani sunaayi jaaye.

Sab kuchh badal gaya hai magar log hain ba-zid,

mahtaab hi mein soorat-e-jaanan dikhaayi jaaye.

Kuchh saagharon mein zehar hai kuchh mein sharaab hai,

ye masala hai tishnagi kis se bujhaayi jaaye.

Shehron ki sarhadon pe hai sehraaon ka hujoom,

kya maajra hai aao khabar toh lagaayi jaaye.

Naazil ho jism o rooh pe jab behisi ka qehar,

uss waqt dosto ye ghazal gungunaayi jaaye. !!
