khwab aankhon mein sajae rakhna
'azm ke dip jalae rakhna

daw chal jae na shab-zadon ka
lau charaghon ki badhae rakhna

mehrban man ki tarah hai ye zamin
sar yahan apna jhukae rakhna

chand utre na zamin pe jab tak
aasman sar pe uthae rakhna

zinda rahna hai to yaran-e-'aziz
hath se hath milae rakhna

jis ne ye rup diya hai 'ummid'
wo zamin dil mein basae rakhna
