Kabhi to khul ke baras abr-e-meharaban ke tarah
Mera vajud hai jalate hue makan ke tarah
Bhari bahar ka sina hai zakhm zakhm magar
Saba ne gaye hain lori shafiq man ke tarah
Wo kon tha jo barahana badan chattanon se
Lipat gaya tha kabhi bahr-e-bekaran ke tarah
Sakut-e-dil to jazira hai barf ka lekin
Tera khulus hai suraj ke sayeban ke tarah
Main ik khwab sahi aap ke amanat hun
Mujhe sambhal ke rakhiyega jism-o-jan ke tarah
