jin khwabon se nind ud jae aise khwab sajae kaun
ek pal jhuti taskin pa kar sari raat ganwae kaun

ye tanhai ye sannata dil ko magar samjhae kaun
itni bhayanak raat mein aakhir milne wala aae kaun

sunte hain ki in rahon mein majnun aur farhad lute
lekin ab aadhe raste se laut ke wapas jae kaun

sunte samajhte hon to un se koi apni baat kahe
gungon aur bahron ke aage dhol bajaane jae kaun

us mahfil mein log hain jitne sab ko apna rona hai
'tabish' main khamosh-tabiat mera haal sunae kaun
