hum duniya se jab tang aaya karte hain
apne sath ek sham manaya karte hain

suraj ke us jaanib basne wale log
aksar hum ko pas bulaya karte hain

yunhi khud se rutha karte hain pahle
der talak phir khud ko manaya karte hain

chup rahte hain us ke samne ja kar hum
yun us ko chakh yaad dilaya karte hain

nindon ke viran jazire par har shab
khwabon ka ek shahr basaya karte hain

in khwabon ki qimat hum se puchh ki hum
in ke sahaare umr bitaya karte hain

ab to koi bhi dur nahin to phir 'taimur'
hum khat kis ke nam likhaya karte hain
