ye kaun aaya shabistan ke khwab pahne hue
sitare odhe hue mahtab pahne hue

tamam jism ki uryaniyan thin aankhon mein
wo meri ruh mein utra hijab pahne hue

mujhe kahin koi chashma nazar nahin aaya
hazar dasht pade the sarab pahne hue

qadam qadam pe thakan saz-baz karti hai
sisak raha hun safar ka azab pahne hue

magar sabaat nahin be-sabil raston mein
ki panw so gae 'saqi' rikab pahne hue
