chashm-e-mushtaq ne ye khwab ajab dekhe hain
dil ke aaine mein sau aks hain sab tere hain

zindagi se bhi nibahen tujhe apna bhi kahen
is kashakash mein shab o roz guzar jate hain

khana-e-dil mein tha kya kya na ummidon ka hujum
khana viran hai to raazi-ba-raza baithe hain

daulat-e-gham bhi khas-o-khak-e-zamana mein gai
tum gae ho to mah-o-sal kahan thahre hain

abhi kuchh der na dub ai mah-e-taban-e-firaq
abhi kuchh khwab bhi ji bhar ke kahan dekhe hain
