jagti aankhon se wabasta diya mange hai
waqt-e-ummid basarat ki dua mange hai

gard-alud fazaon mein bhatakta mausam
gum-shuda lamha se khud apna pata mange hai

aks-dar-aks haqiqat ki lakiren raushan
khwab-dar-khwab koi husn-e-ada mange hai

apni majruh nigahon ka safar hai jari
justuju karb-e-masafat ki dawa mange hai

munsif-e-waqt ki maghrur samaat 'khawar'
gunge mujrim se sadaqat ki nawa mange hai
