chaman roye ha.Nse shabanam biyaabaa.N par nikhaar aaye
ek aisaa bhii nayaa mausam mere paravar-digaar aaye
vo sar khole hamaarii laash par diivaanaavaar aaye
isii ko maut kahate hai.n to yaa rab baar baar aaye
sar-e-gor-e-Gariibaa.N aao lekin ye guzaarish hai
vahaa.N muu.Nh pher kar ronaa jahaa.N meraa mazaar aaye
bahaa ai chashm-e-tar aisaa bhii ek aa.Nsuu nadaamat kaa
jise daaman pe lene rahamat-e-paravar-digaar aaye
qafas ke ho liye ham to magar ai ahal-e-gulashan tum
hame.n bhii yaad kar lenaa chaman me.n jab bahaar aaye
na jaane kyaa samajh kar chup huu.N ai sayyaad mai.n varnaa
vo qaidii huu.N agar chaahuu.N qafas me.n bhii bahaar aaye
"Qamar" dil kyaa hai mai.n to un kii Khaatir jaan bhii de duu.N
merii qismat agar un ko na phir bhii aitabaar aaye
