saneha qismaton ke darichon mein lapkega chhup jaega baat tal jaegi
sab musafir gharon ko palat jaenge gham ki wahshat khushi mein badal jaegi

hum sitaron ki manind tutenge aur aasman par lakiren bana jaenge
maut ka raqs karti hui ek saat rukegi kahin phir sambhal jaegi

sare bikhre hue lafz koi utha laega aan ki aan mein aur phir
uljhi uljhi zaban apni tartib badlegi aur ek kahani mein dhal jaegi

ek din hum irada karenge ki ab apne khwabon ki qimat nahin lenge hum
ek din hum badal jaenge aur phir khud-bakhud sari duniya badal jaegi

jab sitare bujhenge to shab ke samundar mein lahron ka rukh dekhne ke liye
subh-e-kazib ki aankhen achanak khulengi bashaarat ki qindil jal jaegi

dard ki lau ki maddham hararat ke pahlu mein patthar ka dil bhi tadakh jaega
ye jo lohe ki diwar atraf-e-jaan khinch rakhi hai ye bhi pighal jaegi

ye bhi hoga ki dil aise ho jaega jaise is mein koi aarzu hi na thi
itna khali ye ho jaega khali hone ki dil se khalish bhi nikal jaegi
