shab ko har rang mein sailab tumhaara dekhen
aankh khul jae to dariya na kinara dekhen

dasht-e-aghosh mein ram-khurda chikara dekhen
ye hasin khwab bhi ek roz qazara dekhen

jaane kya surat-e-haalat raqam thi us mein
jo waraq chaak hua us ko dobara dekhen

nind aae bhi to tasbih-e-badan karte hue
aur phir sath uthen subh ka tara dekhen

dekhte dekhte gum ho gae jal-thal se wo log
aish ko chaak karen dard ko pyara dekhen
