sau rang hai kis rang se taswir banaun
mere to kai rup hain kis rup mein aaun

kyun aa ke har ek shakhs mere zakhm kurede
kyun main bhi har ek shakhs ko haal apna sunaun

kyun log musir hain ki sunen meri kahani
ye haq mujhe hasil hai sunaun ki chhupaun

is bazm mein apna to shanasa nahin koi
kya karb hai tanhai ka main kis ko bataun

kuchh aur to hasil na hua khwabon se mujh ko
bas ye hai ki yaadon ke dar-o-baam sajaun

be-qimat-o-be-maya isi khak mein yaro
wo khak bhi hogi jise aankhon se lagaun

kirnon ki rifaqat kabhi aae jo mayassar
ham-rah main un ke teri dahliz pe aaun

khwabon ke ufuq par tera chehra ho hamesha
aur main usi chehre se nae khwab sajaun

rah jaen kisi taur mere khwab salamat
is ek dua ke liye ab hath uthaun
