umr bhar kawish-e-izhaar ne sone na diya
harf-e-na-gufta ke aazar ne sone na diya

dasht ki wusat-e-be-qaid mein kya nind aati
ghar ki qaid-e-dar-o-diwar ne sone na diya

thak ke so rahne ko raste mein thikane the bahut
hawas-e-saya-e-diwar ne sone na diya

kabhi iqrar ki lazzat ne jagae rakkha
kabhi andesha-e-inkar ne sone na diya

ho gai subh badalte rahe pahlu shab bhar
ek karwat pe dil-e-zar ne sone na diya
