khwab hain sare nae aankh purani meri
hai tazadat se bharpur kahani meri

tujh se main kahta na tha andhi hawa se bachna
sun ke bhi ek yahi baat na mani meri

kha gaya karb-e-zamana mere lahje ka waqar
aam thi warna yahan shoala-bayani meri

ufuq-e-dil pe ye bujhta hua rangon ka hujum
mangta rahta mujhi se hai nishani meri

din ka har zakhm main raaton ko gina karta hun
din hai be-kaif mera raat suhani meri

mithe chashmon se jo guzroge yaqin hai mujh ko
yaad aaegi bahut tishna-dahani meri

phailna hai meri fitrat mein ki hun mauja-e-gul
raegan jaegi kab khu-e-rawani meri
