main dhund-fazaon mein uda bhi hun gira bhi
thi quwwat-e-parwaz bhi aur khauf-e-qaza bhi

main apne hi zindan-e-tilismi ka zubun tha
har-chand teri shoabada-kari se bacha bhi

lai hai kahan mujh ko tabiat ki do-rangi
duniya ka talabgar bhi duniya se khafa bhi

pa-basta-e-zanjir-e-hawa chhut gae hain
mauquf hua silsila-e-qatl-e-nawa bhi

khwabida lahu bazu-e-parwaz mein jaga
raushan hui dhundlai hui zard faza bhi

aankhen hain magar khwab se mahrum hain 'midhat'
taswir ka rishta nahin rangon se zara bhi
