koi an-dekhi faza taswir karna chahiye
khwab ki buniyaad par tamir karna chahiye

main bhatakta phir raha hun wahimon ke darmiyan
gard lipti ruh ki tathir karna chahiye

jin dinon diwangi thahri hui ho zat mein
ek duniya un dinon taskhir karna chahiye

jis sada mein sau tarah ke rang jhilmil karte hon
wo sada har haal mein taswir karna chahiye

jald-bazi de gai hai rat-jagon ke silsile
faisle mein thodi si takhir karna chahiye

ab bagule mujh mein hain aur main bagulon mein 'khayal'
dasht mein diwangi zanjir karna chahiye
