rang-e-mahfil se fuzun-tar meri hairani hai
pairahan bais-e-izzat hai na uryani hai

nind aati hai magar jag raha hun sar-e-khwab
aankh lagti hai to ye umr guzar jaani hai

aur kya hai teri duniya mein siwa-e-man-o-tu
minnat-e-ghair ki zillat hai jahanbani hai

chum lo us ko isi aalam-e-madhoshi mein
aakhir-e-khwab wahi be-sar-o-samani hai

apne saman mein tasawir-e-butan hain ye khutut
kuchh lakiren hain kaf-e-dast hai peshani hai
