aankh mein khwab zamane se alag rakkha hai
aks ko aaina-khane se alag rakkha hai

ghar mein gul-dan sajae hain teri aamad par
aur ek phul bahane se alag rakkha hai

kuchh hawa mein bhi chalane ke liye rakkha jae
is liye tir nishane se alag rakkha hai

us ke honton ko nahin aankh ko di hai tarjih
pyas ko pyas bujhane se alag rakkha hai

ghair-mumkin hai kisi aur ke hath aa jae
wo khazana jo khazane se alag rakkha hai

ek hawa si kahin bandhi hai chhupane ke liye
ek tamasha sa lagane se alag rakkha hai

khwab hi khwab mein tamir kiya hai 'azar'
ghar ko buniyaad uthane se alag rakkha hai
