jahan hote kisi chashm-e-sitara-yab mein hote
hum aise log har lahza hisar-e-ab mein hote

to phir hum par bhi khulta husn tere aariz-o-lab ka
agar kuchh aur chehre bhi hamare khwab mein hote

ye mitti panw mein zanjir ki surat hai warna hum
zamin ko chhod kar ek khitta-e-shadab mein hote

samundar ko bipharte dekh kar ye ji mein aata hai
kabhi hum bhi muqayyad shoala-e-mahtab mein hote

hamein bhi kya zaruri tha talluq duniya-daron se
agar hum aap apne halqa-e-ahbab mein hote
