zindagi ke sarab bhi dekhun
nind aae to khwab bhi dekhun

raat katun kisi kharabe mein
munh andhere gulab bhi dekhun

harf-e-taza waraq waraq likkhun
sada dil ki kitab bhi dekhun

dub jaun kisi samundar mein
phir jaziron ke khwab bhi dekhun

zindagi mein himaqaten bhi karun
us ka phir sadd-e-bab bhi dekhun

aaj dil ki bayaz mein likh kar
lafz khana-kharab bhi dekhun

pyas dil ki bujhaun aankhon se
raqs karte habab bhi dekhun
