apne hi shab o roz mein aabaad raha kar
hum log bure log hain hum se na mila kar

shayad kisi aawaz ki khushbu nazar aae
aankhen hain to khwabon ki tamanna bhi kiya kar

baaton ke liye shikwa-e-mausam hi bahut hai
kuchh aur kisi se na kaha kar na suna kar

sone de unhen rang jo soe hain badan mein
aawara hawaon ko na mahsus kiya kar

tu subh-e-bahaaran ka hasin khwab hai phir bhi
aahista zara os ki bundon pe chala kar
