kuchh kam to hua ranj-e-farawan-e-tamanna
aaghaz-e-junun go nahin payan-e-tamanna

phir yas ne rakkha hai qadam khana-e-dil mein
yani hai ab allah nigahban-e-tamanna

go chaak hua dil magar arman na nikle
be-faeda khola dar-e-zindan-e-tamanna

afsana mera khwab-e-zulekha-e-mohabbat
jalwa hai tera yusuf-e-kanan-e-tamanna

juz wada-e-baatil nahin buniyaad kuchh us ki
dil kanp utha dekh ke aiwan-e-tamanna

ek jaan hai wo khair se warafta-e-gham hai
ek dil hai so hai sokhta-saman-e-tamanna

'fani' ka dam ek din tere qadmon pe nikal jae
dil ki ye tamanna hai ab ai jaan-e-tamanna
