khwab-zadon ka dukh zamini hai
ye haqiqat badi kamini hai

ai khuda-e-guman koi tajwiz
marka ab koi yaqini hai

pattharon ke mizaj mein shamil
aabginon pe nukta-chini hai

wo mare samne se uth jae
jis ka maqsad tamash-bini hai

ghar ki tazin mein sar-e-fehrist
ek aurat ki nukta-chini hai

ek pal ke jamal mein yakja
kai sadiyon ki dil-nashini hai
