khwab aise ki gai raat darane lag jaen
dard jage to sulane mein zamane lag jaen

hum wo nadan hawaon se wafa ki khatir
apne aangan ke charaghon ko bujhane lag jaen

thode gehun abhi mitti pe rakhe rahne do
wo parinde ki kabhi laut ke aane lag jaen

aas mahke jo kisi khoe jazire ki kabhi
teri banhen mujhe sahil pe bulane lag jaen

koi dushman na ho in ko to ye iza-parwar
apne khemon pe hi tiron ko chalane lag jaen
