qarya-e-hairat mein dil ka mustaqar ek khwab hai
ye zamin ek aaina hai ye nagar ek khwab hai

tangi-e-auqat se khulti hai ek rah-e-najat
wusat-e-imroz-o-farda se udhar ek khwab hai

ek subh-e-nur hai mere sitare ki niyam
aur meri be-tegh aankhon ki sipar ek khwab hai

ye zamin-o-asman donon haqiqat hain magar
khak par maujud hone ki khabar ek khwab hai

sans rukta hai to gul hoti hai sham-e-justuju
raat bhar bedar rahne ka samar ek khwab hai

ek mauj-e-ab hai ek aks mein lipti hui
ek mauj-e-rang se shir-o-shakar ek khwab hai
