yaqin ki ret pe khali sarab bunti hun
jhalakti aankh mein an-dekhe khwab bunti hun

mere wajud ki zulmat pe bolne wale
main dida tar se kai aaftab bunti hun

ye dhup chah ki jhulsa na de kahin mujh ko
tumhaari yaad se aksar sahab bunti hun

hun rasan-o-dar ke qabil hai e'tiraf mujhe
ki ratjagon ki sifarish pe khwab bunti hun

tu mere pas mahakta hai khushbuon ki tarah
tere rumal pe jab jab gulab bunti hun
