hamari nind mein koi sarab-e-khwab bhi nahin
ye kaisa regzar hai fareb-e-ab bhi nahin

the kaise kaise log mere khema-e-khayal mein
gae dinon ki khair ho ki ab tanab bhi nahin

ye hadisa ki barf-bariyon ki zad pe aa gae
magar ye waqia lahu mein koi tab bhi nahin

na kuchh gila na iltifat-e-hijr ki siyah raat
faramushi ka daur hai ki ab azab bhi nahin

ye lamha lamha zindagi kuchh is tarah se kat gai
kahan pe kharch kya hua koi hisab bhi nahin
