kya jaaniye kya hai had-e-idrak se aage
bas khak hai is teri meri khak se aage

hai shor-e-fughan khamushi-e-marg ke pichhe
ek tez hawa hai khas-o-khashak se aage

hum dekhte hain aankh mein sahme hue aansu
ek chup hai kahin khanda-e-be-bak se aage

ek rang sa hai rang-e-tamanna se mumasil
ek abr sa hai dida-e-nam-nak se aage

main apne kisi khwab ki munh-zor hawa mein
aksar hi nikal jata hun aflak se aage

kya shor karen girya-e-usshaq se badh kar
kya zor karen pairhan-e-chaak se aage
