khwab tabir ke asir na the
rahguzar the ye rahgir na the

rahnuma the kabhi wo sach hai magar
ye bhi sach hai ki mere pir na the

hum ne zindan ki baghbani ki
mausam-e-gul ke hum asir na the

patthar aae the aaine ban ke
warna hum itne be-zamir na the

apna andaz-e-zist hai 'paigham'
ye tamashe the na-guzir na the
