dil apna aab-ju-e-haqaeq ke pas hai
mahrum kyon azal se mere fan ki pyas hai

har lamha apna rang badalta hai ye jahan
ab waqt ko bhi dekhiye mauqa-shanas hai

mere yaqin ke raste tarik hain bahut
ek azm ka charagh magar apne pas hai

kahne lage ho mujh ko hi nang-e-wajud kyon
dekho to sara shahr hi ab be-libas hai

jo shisha-e-yaqin ko bhi yak-lakht tod de
yaron ke hath mein wahi sang-e-qayas hai

shayad anokha hadisa guzra hai raat ko
suraj ka chehra subh se kitna udas hai
