[dur-e-shahwar]

poora dukh or aadha chand!
hijir ki shab or aisa chand!

din main wehshat behel gai thi
raat hui or nikla chand

kis maqtal se guzra hoga
itna sehma sehma chand

yadon ki aabad gali main
ghoom raha hai tanha chan

meri karwat par jag utthay
neend ka kitna kaccha chand

mere munh ko kis hairat se
dekh raha hai bhola chand

itnay ghane badal ke peche
kitna tanha hoga chand

aansu roke noor nahay
dil darya tan sehra chand

itne roshan chehre par bhi
suraj ka hai saaya chand

jab pani main chehra dekha
tu ne kis ko socha chand

burgad ki ek shakh hata kar
jane kis ko jhanka chand

badal ke resham jhoole
bhour samay tak soya chand

raat ke shane par sar rakhe
dekh raha hai sapna chand

sukhe patton ke jhurmat main
shabnam thi ya nannha

hath hila kar rukhsat hoga
us ki surat hijir ka chand

sehra sehra bhatak raha hai
apne ishq main saccha chand

raat ke shayad aik baje hen
sota hoga mera chand
