jawab mangta tha main sawal de diya gaya
talash dar talash ka wabaal de diya gaya

ata hua tha jab yaqin ki sabz wadiyon mein ghar
to kyun dar-e-guman pas-e-khayal de diya gaya

meri zamin-e-chashm-e-nam mein khwab bo diye gae
mujhe khamir-e-shauq la-zawal de diya gaya

hawaon ko dayar-e-dil ki raat saunp di gai
badan ko sham-e-na-tawan ka haal de diya gaya

tumhaare baad daulat-e-gham-e-jahan mil gai
dua qubul ho gai malal de diya gaya

nasib-war tumhein to tauq-e-hasrat-e-fana mila
hamein to khauf-e-lamha-e-visal de diya gaya

ye dastan-e-tifl-e-nai sawar-e-rakhsh-e-agahi
kamal phir zawal phir kamal de diya gaya
