khuda ka shukr hai girdab se nikal aaya
main us ke halqa-e-ahbab se nikal aaya

saji hui thin dukanen munafiqat ki jahan
main aise qarya-e-be-khwab se nikal aaya

bahut dinon se hisar-e-tilism-e-khwab mein tha
tilism tut gaya khwab se nikal aaya

ata hui hai mohabbat ki saltanat jab se
main shahr-e-dida-e-khun-nab se nikal aaya

kabhi gulab se aane lagi mahak us ki
kabhi wo anjum o mahtab se nikal aaya

ana ki naw jahan dolti phire 'mahbub'
main us fareb ke sailab se nikal aaya
