lahje ko phul lafz ko jugnu agar karen
waqt-e-rawan ke sath maani safar karen

andar ki barishon ne jo manzar dikhae hain
bahar ki dhup-chhanw ko is ki khabar karen

mausam parinde dhup ki diwar shab charagh
qissa tawil hone laga mukhtasar karen

ab nind si hai nind na ab khwab sa hai khwab
sadkon pe jag jag ke umren basar karen

manzar ko darmiyan se apne hata ke dekh
mumkin hai phir 'matin' ki baaten asar karen
