kabhi to chashm-e-falak mein haya dikhai de
ki dhup sar se hate aur ghata dikhai de

main iqtibas-e-aziyyat hun lauh-e-duniya par
so mujh mein gham ke siwa aur kya dikhai

main chahta hun ki mere liye mere maula
lab-e-adu pe bhi harf-e-dua dikhai de

charagh ban ke sada is liye jale hum log
hamari zid thi ki hum ko hawa dikhai de

kabhi to sehn-e-gulistan se ho khizan rukhsat
kabhi to ped pe patta hara dikhai de

hisar-e-zat se main is liye nikalta nahin
ki chashm-e-tar ko meri kaun kya dikhai de

zamane baad laga khud ko dekh kar aisa
ki jaise khwab mein ek gum-shuda dikhai de
