khwab aankhon mein sawali hi rahe
kasa-e-tabir khali hi rahe

raqs karti khwahishon ke zer-e-pa
dil shikar-e-paemali hi rahe

khak ho jate lahu ki aag mein
jism ke kuze sifali hi rahe

zindagi in se siwa nikli yahan
falsafe sare khayali hi rahe

sabza-e-maidan pe kab utri khizan
shor is ka dali dali hi rahe

chand nikla to ghazab dha jaega
raat behtar hai ye kali hi rahe
