unche peDon ke niche hansi rah gai
kali parchhain mein chandni rah gai
surKH galon pe aansu ke qatre gire
phul se honT par tishnagi rah gai
ai KHuda teri duniya mein sab kuchh to hai
dil dhaDakta hai kyon kya kami rah gai
kis ne taswir khinchi hai aawaz ki
dur se bolti zindagi rah gai
sar-e-sham tezi se ruKHsat hui
raat ke hath mein raushni rah gai
gahri KHamoshiyon mein shikan thi bahut
nind aankhon tale jagti rah gai
sard raaton ki peshaniyan chum kar
barf si subhon mein kapkapi rah gai
sare auraq dimak-zada the magar
waqt ke saz par shairi rah gai
harf aaya nahin meri 'ulfat' pe kyon
jaan-ba-haq ho gae jaan-kani rah gai
