be-khwab darichon mein kisi rang-mahal ke
fanus jalae hain umidon ne ghazal ke

yaadon ke darakhton ki hasin chhanw mein jaise
aata hai koi shakhs bahut dur se chal ke

dukh dard ke jalte hue aangan mein khada hun
ab kis ke liye khalwat-e-jaanan se nikal ke

sochon mein dabe panw chale aate hain aksar
bichhdi hui kuchh sanwli shamon ke dhundalke
