hum sitaron mein tera aks na dhalne denge
chand ko sham ki dahliz pe jalne denge

aaj chhu lenge koi arsh mere wahm-o-guman
khwab ko nind ki aankhon mein machalne denge

hum bhi dekhenge kahan tak hai rasai apni
dil ko bahlaenge hum aur na sambhalne denge

shab ki aaghosh mein phailen na guman ke sae
ab nigahon mein koi khauf na palne denge

ho na jae kahin anjam se pahle anjam
is kahani ko isi taur se chalne denge

aks-dar-aks milenge tujhe manzar manzar
tu jo chahe bhi kahan tujh ko badalne denge

naqsh-dar-naqsh hue jaenge bas khak yahin
khud ko is dasht-e-guman se na nikalne denge
