khwab aankhon ki gali chhod ke jaane nikle
hum idhar nind ki diwar girane nikle

dhul raste ka muqaddar hai to rasta kya hai
bas yahi baat zamane ko batane nikle

jab pahadon se mili dad hunar ki apne
dastan hum bhi samundar ko sunane nikle

rang se rang juda hone ka manzar dekha
tirgi aur shafaq sirf bahane nikle

jab samundar pe chale hum to ye sahra chup the
ab pahadi pe khade hain to bulane nikle

aasman jis ki zamin hai wo parinda hun main
jaane kyun log yahan dam bichhane nikle

koi chehra na de aawaz kisi lau se 'matin'
sham hote hi charaghon ko bujhane nikle
