shab-e-siyah mera hosla barhati rahi
chiragh bujhty rahy
or main jalati rahi

wafa to jazba tha lekin
na jany Q dunia
zara si baat ko
ik dastan banati rahi

main khush rahi to dar-o-baam b bhaly se lgy
udhar darakht ki chiryan b cheh'chahati rahi

ksi k aany ka tha vas'vasa khyalon me
tamaam raat hawa ghar k dar bajati rahi

mujhe khabar thi k wo lout kr na aye ga
zuban khamosh rahi
or nazar bulati rahi

kabi jo ghir k ghata aa gai barasny ko
meri ye tooti hoi chat mujhe daraati rahi

kabi kabi to akele me beth kr SARWAT
khud apne aapko
apni ghazal sunati rahi
