jab yaqin ko guman mein nahin kho saki
haar kar jit meri tabhi ho saki

khwab mein jab mili khud se main dafatan
raat bhar jag kar chain se so saki

ek muddat se aankhen meri khushk thin
aaj aahat ki dastak pe kuchh ro saki

aasman mein sahar ka sitara uga
tab kahin hijr kandhe pe main dho saki

jab zamin se samundar ki mitti mili
nam-e-'nikhat' ke paude ko main bo saki
