dil dasht ki surat tha samundar hua kaise
sarsabz khizan-zad muqaddar hua kaise

chhanw mein dhala kaise tamazat bhara mausam
phulon se bhi nazuk mera paikar hua kaise

phirti thi tamannaon bhari shaal lapete
phir jazba-e-gumnam ujagar hua kaise

muddat se ye uljhi hui gutthi nahin suljhi
wo mujh mein samaya tha to be-ghar hua kaise

ek umr kisi pal jo mere hath na aaya
wo khwab sa ehsas musakhkhar hua kaise

ek raaz jo hamraaz raha barson 'samina'
ab sochti hun fash jahan par hua kaise
