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-gulshan 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.
