shikasta khwabon ka aankhon se rabta kar len
har ek shab ka taqaza ki rat-jaga kar len

lagaen bhid gae zard-o-sabz lamhon ki
aur us hujum mein phir khud ko lapata kar len

wagarna jine na dega gham-e-hayat ka zahr
kisi ke bhule hue gham ka phir nasha kar len

kuchh ehtijaj bhi rakkhen sharik-e-zabt-e-sitam
zaban hai gung to chehra sawaliya kar len

wo zakhm dast-e-talab ho ki ho gul-e-shadab
wo kuchh to dega hamin arz-e-muddaa kar len

nazar hai teri tawajjoh ke har tarashshoh par
pade phuwar to zakhmon ko phir hara kar len

dikhai dene laga rukh pe rang-e-baatin bhi
bahut qarib hain hum thoda fasla kar len
