Chaandani kaif_asar Rooh_Afzaa hotee thi,
Abr Aataa thaa to badmast bhi ho Jaate the.
Din me shorish bhi huaa karati thi Hangaame bhi,
Raat ki godh me munh Dhaanp ke so Jaate the.
Narm Rau Waqt ke dhaare pe Safiine the ravaan,
Saahil-o-Bahr ke Aaiin na badalate the kabhi.
naakhudaaon pe Bharosaa thaa Muqaddar pe yaqeen,
Chaadar-e-Aab se tuufaan na ubalate the kabhi.
Ham ke tuufaanon ke Paale bhi Sataaye bhi hain,
Barq-o-Baaraan me vohi shamen jalaayen kaise.
Ye jo Aatish_kadaa Duniyaa me bhadak Utthaa hai,
Aansuon se use har baar bujhaayen kaise.
kar Diyaa barq-o-bukhaaraat ne mahashar Barpaa,
Apane daftar me litaafat ke sivaa kuchh bhii nahin.
Ghir gaye Waqt ki Beraham kashaakash me magar,
Paas tahazeeb ki Daulat ke siva kuchh bhi nahin.
