khwab jine nahin denge tujhe khwabon se nikal
waqt barbaad na kar raegan sochon se nikal

dasht-e-imkan mein dariya bhi hai baadal bhi hain
shart bas itni hai tu apne sarabon se nikal

ek be-rang si taswir bana le khud ko
rang yaksan nahin rahte kabhi rangon se nikal

warna tu apne hi andar kahin bujh jaega
khul ke ab samne aa apne andheron se nikal

shab ne suraj se kaha ye to nahin tera maqam
chal bulandi ki tarah laut nashebon se nikal

tere hone ka tujhe bhi to ho ehsas koi
ek konpal ki tarah apni hi shakhon se nikal

ab wo girdab ki kashti ki kahani na suna
tujh ko sahil pe pahunchna hai to maujon se nikal

ek na ek roz samundar ka safar karna hai
apne ehsas ke mahdud jaziron se nikal
