uth raha hai aashiyanon se dhuan dekhega kaun
hai magar tabir khwab-e-raegan dekhega kaun

jal rahi hai dil mein ek aafaq se rishte ki lau
jaise hum dekhe hain su-e-asman dekhega kaun

tu bahut aaindagan ka khinchta hai intizar
be-khabar wo raunaq-e-aindagan dekhega kaun

ek ehsas-e-shikast-e-shab bahut raushan magar
be-karan is be-hisi ke darmiyan dekhega kaun

aarzu ka ek jahan-e-taza bhi manzar mein hai
main jise pahchanta hun wo jahan dekhega kaun

raste raushan bahut karta raha hun zer-e-pa
dur tak phaile hain qadmon ke nishan dekhega kaun

dad jaankahi ki kis se paen ab ahl-e-hunar
khun-chakida khama risti ungliyan dekhega kaun

dekhte hain sab furu-e-shauq ki zebaishen
kam nahin kuchh ye maal-e-shauq han dekhega kaun

rafta rafta ho rahega zakhm-e-dil ka indimal
bujhte bujhte bujh hi jaegi fughan dekhega kaun

dekh dil mein ho raha hai ek naya manzar tulua
jo idhar bikhri padi hai kahkashan dekhega kaun
