phir ye mumkin hi nahin hai ki sambhaalo mujh ko
ek zara qaid se bahar to nikalo mujh ko

is haqiqat ki bhi aamad ho mere hujre mein
chhod ke jao kabhi khwabo khayalo mujh ko

jism ko dard mein hansne ka hunar aata hai
iltija ye hai ki patthar mein na dhaalo mujh ko

main ne pabandi laga di hai zaban par warna
muddaa chikh raha hai ki uchhaalo mujh ko

tab talak kuza-garo khwab hai tabir meri
jab talak puri tarah tod na dalo mujh ko

mawara hun main har ek lafz-e-sukhan se jo mujhe
tum ko padhna hai to phir soch mein dhaalo mujh ko

lo main karta hun meri khak tumhaare hi sipurd
jaisi darkar ho waisa hi bana lo mujh ko

pahle malbe ko mere saf karo upar se
phir meri khak ke niche se nikalo mujh ko

aankhen neze pe tike dekh ke apni 'nayab'
bol uthe khwab bhi ab to ki na palo mujh ko
