mere na-rasa tasawwur ne suragh pa liya hai
main pata laga chuka hun tu kahan kahan chhupa hai

mujhe kaun sar-bulandi ki taraf bula raha hai
mera nargisi takhayyul to shikast kha chuka hai

tujhe qatilon ke narghe se chhudaega na koi
ye hai maqtal ai musafir tu kise pukarta hai

sar-e-sham jo gharibon ke diye bujha rahi hain
unhin sazishon ka markaz ye teri mahal-sara hai

koi mausami parindon se kahe idhar na aaen
abhi mere gulistan ki badi muzmahil faza hai

sun ai meri pyari duniya meri be-qarar duniya
tera dard-mand shair tere git ga raha hai

wo ba-zoam-e-khud gulistan ka hai sarbarah 'dauran'
jo wo chahe so karega use kaun rokta hai
