Baad-baan khulne se pehle ka ishara dekhna
Main samandar dekhati hon tum kinara dekhna,

Yon bicharna bhi bahut asan na tha us se magar
Jate jate us kaa wo mur ke dubara dekhna,

Kis shabahat ko liye aaya hai darvaze pe chand
Ai shab-e-hijran zara apna sitara dekhna,

Aiene ki ankh hi kuch kam na thi mere liye
Jane ab kya kya dikhayega tumhara dekhna.
