hanut silsile rakkhe hue khayalon ke
ajaibaat hain dil mein pari jamalon ke

kahin khamosh kahin gunjte andhere hain
bujhe charagh hain matam-kade ujalon ke

kahin pe aaine hairat ke intizar mein hain
kahin pe sang bhi rakkhe hain kuchh sawalon ke

lipat ke roti hui chandni chatanon se
ki jin mein rakkhe hue khwab hain wo jwalon ke

ajab hain dhund ke manzar shajar udas udas
kahin pe mod hain milne bichhadne walon ke
