mukhtasar si zindagi mein kitni nadani kare
in nazaron ko koi dekhe ki hairani kare

dhup mein in aabginon ko liye phirta hun main
koi saya mere khwabon ki nigahbani kare

ek main hun aur dastak kitne darwazon pe dun
kitni dahlizon pe sajda ek peshani kare

raat aisi chahiye mange jo din bhar ka hisab
khwab aisa ho jo in aankhon mein virani kare

sahilon par main khada hun tishna-kaamon ki tarah
koi mauj-e-ab meri aankh ko pani kare
