har kisi khwab ke chehre pe likhun nam tera
main use apna hunar samjhun ki inam tera

titliyan phul mein kya dhundhti rahti hain sada
kya kahen baad-e-saba rakh gai paigham tera

jis tarah rang-e-shafaq jhil mein ghul jata hai
aks-e-lab aise utarta hai tah-e-jam tera

raat aaegi to dikhlaega kuchh aur hi rang
wo jo din bhar to paraya laga aur sham tera

faqat is soch mein hath uthte nahin waqt-e-dua
main bhala kis tarah samjhaun tujhe kaam tera

taqche gosha-e-dil fikr-o-amal chhan chuke
kisi haalat mein bhi milta nahin islam tera

shama bujhti hai to duniya mein sahar hoti hai
ai sukhan-war tera aaghaz hai anjam tera
