aaina ban ke apna tamasha dikhaen hum
yun samne rahen ki nazar bhi na aaen hum

mumkin hai daur-e-jashn-e-charaghan ho jab yahan
wo tirgi badhe ki sahife jalaen hum

darpesh hai guzishta ruton ka safar hamein
hairat na kar ki laut ke wapas na aaen hum

taufiq-e-sair-e-bagh agar ho to ab ki sham
dil ki jagah shajar pe parinde banaen hum

khamosh ho raho ki sar-e-shahr-e-arzu
uftad wo padi hai ki ab kya bataen hum
