aankh ne phir azab dekha hai
ek taza gulab dekha hai

nind raaton ko ab nahin aati
khwab aisa kharab dekha hai

sans lena bhi ho gaya mushkil
jab se aankhon ne khwab dekha hai

jaane kaise nashe mein hai dil bhi
aaj us ne sharab dekha hai

zakhm bhi phul jaise hain 'rakhshan'
zakhm to be-hisab dekha hai
