duboe deta hai khud-agahi ka bar mujhe
main dhalta nashsha hun mauj-e-tarab ubhaar mujhe

ai ruh-e-asr mein tera hun tera hissa hun
khud apna khwab samajh kar zara sanwar mujhe

bikhar ke sab mein abas intizar hai apna
jala ke khak kar ai sham-e-intizar mujhe

sada-e-rafta sahi laut kar main aaunga
faraaz-e-khwab se ai zindagi pukar mujhe

azab ye hai ki mujhe jaise phul aur bhi hain
salib-e-shakh se dast-e-khizan utar mujhe

gharib-e-shahr nawa hi sahi magar yaro
bahut hai apni hi aawaz ka dayar mujhe
