khud ko samjha hai faqat wahm-o-guman bhi hum ne
khud ko paya hai dil-e-kaun-o-makan bhi hum ne

dekh phulon se lade dhup nahae hue ped
hans ke kahte hain guzari hai khizan bhi hum ne

shafaq-e-subh se tabinda saman-zar se puchh
raat kati su-e-gardun-nigran bhi hum ne

dekh kar abr bhar aai hain khushi se aankhen
sukhte honton pe pheri hai zaban bhi hum ne

jin ke giton mein hai nikhat ki lapak phul ka ras
salha-sal suni un ki fughan bhi hum ne

ab umangen hain tarangen hain tarannum-afshan
khwahishen dekhin hain mahrum-e-zaban bhi hum ne

ab nazar aae hain aasuda-e-manzil to kya
dekhi kya kya tapish-e-reg-e-rawan bhi hum ne
