khwabon ki chhanw mein jo tha apna aashiyana
suraj jala chuka hai khwabon ka shamiyana

phailao jo tha us ka asrar aasman tak
simta kahin kahin par ban raaz-e-daimana

udti hui nazar ko zulmat ne aa ke bheda
be-chuk kis qadar tha sayyaad ka nishana

in talkh haqiqaton se na-agahi hai behtar
madhoshiyon mein jina be-khud-o-be-thikana

yun talkhiyon pe aakhir ab aankh jo khuli hai
khwabon ki shirni bas jine ka hai bahana

be-khwab meri aankhen wo chiz dhundhti hain
jis ke tilism mein ho khwabon ka aashiyana

kab tak bachae rakhen daman ko pak 'yusuf'
sasti sharab bahut hai sarmast hai zamana
