Humare paas toh aao bada andhera hai
kahin na chhod ke jaao dada andhera hai .!
Udaas kar gaye be’saḳhta lateefe bhi
ab aansuon se rulaao bada andhera hai .!
Koi sitara nahin pattharon ki palkon par
koi charaġh jalaao bada andhera hai .!
Haqeeqaton mein zamana bahut guzaar chuke
koi kahani sunaao bada andhera hai .!
Kitaaben kaisi utha laaye maikade waale
ġhazal ke jaam uthaao bada andhera hai .!
Ghazal men jis ki humesha charaġh jalte hain
usey kahin se bulaao bada andhera hai .!
Woh chandni ki basharat hai harf-e aaḳhir tak
bashir badr’ ko laao bada andhera hai .!!
