hum apni ruh ke upar azab dekhte hain ki roz tujh se bichhadne ka khwab dekhte hain kabhi kabhi to hamein bhi yaqin nahin aata ki hum bahaar mein jalte gulab dekhte hain tumhaari chashm-e-tamanna ko dekhne wale koi khazana-e-gham zer-e-ab dekhte hain bas ek aas ke rishte pe umr katti hai ki khushk ped musalsal sarab dekhte hain jahan junun ki tamazat pe harf aata ho hum us maqam pe ek inqalab dekhte hain hamare qad ka tum andaza kya lagaoge hum aankh mund ke sahra mein aab dekhte hain ye shahr-e-ishq to 'afaq' ho nahin sakta hum is ilaqe ka mausam kharab dekhte hain
