dekho koi khwab din dhale ka
dariya ke is aakhiri sire ka

zahir mein the pur-tapak lamhe
mausam tha wo rishte tutne ka

kaghaz pe sulagte kuchh sitare
maktub sa koi shab dhale ka

qurbat ki chhati jo dhund dekha
raushan tha charagh fasle ka

har aankh mein dhundhta hun khud ko
main nur hun bujhte ratjage ka

tahni se gira do barg-e-larzan
imkan hai taza sanehe ka
