dayar-e-khwab se aage safar karne ka din hai
to kya ye qissa-e-jaan mukhtasar karne ka din hai

bulawa aa gaya hai phir mujhe sahra-nawardi ka
yahi to zindagi ko ham-safar karne ka din hai

mujhe raqs-e-junun karna padega sham hone tak
mudaraat-e-hujum-e-dida-tar karne ka din hai

khizan ki bad-hawasi us ke chehre se hai zahir
jahan ko mausam-e-gul ki khabar karne ka din hai

ye khashak-e-samaat khak hona chahte hain
zaban ko aaj apni shola-gar karne ka din hai

hua hai didani manzar zamin se aasman ka
qafas mein aarzu-e-baal-o-par karne ka din hai
