apni aankhon ke hisaron se nikal kar dekhna
tu kisi din apne na hone ka manzar dekhna

ek adam-malum-muddat se main teri zad mein hun
khud ko lamha bhar mera qaidi bana kar dekhna

sham gahre paniyon mein dub kar ek bar phir
shahr ke maujud manzar ko palat kar dekhna

dekhna pichhle pahar khwabon ki ek andhi qatar
aasman par tutte taron ka manzar dekhna

mera apne aap se bahar bikhar jaana tamam
aur khizan-dida parindon ka mera ghar dekhna

rang apne aap hi ab sab ke sab zail hue
hai abas diwar par ye naqsh-o-paikar dekhna

main ki khud muztar fasil-e-jism ke is par hun
kya bhanwar ka khauf ab kaisa samundar dekhna
