pas-e-fasil zamanon ka intizar na ho
ye shahar aur kisi shahar ka ghubar na ho

ye khwab bhi na kisi khwab ka ishaara ho
ye nind aur kisi nind ka khumar na ho

ye dasht aur kisi dasht ka sarab sahi
ye bagh aur kisi bagh ki bahaar na ho

bahut dinon se yahi soch kar pareshan hun
ki tu bhi mere guman hi ka e'tibar na ho

koi to wasl ki saat ho jo thahar jae
koi to sans lun aisi ki jo shumar na ho
