zindagi khwab-o-haqiqat ka safar ho jaise
kabhi sat-rang kabhi khak-basar ho jaise

chand ki koi kiran shahr-badar ho jaise
shab kabhi aur kabhi shab ki sahar ho jaise

kis ki aamad hai ki tare hue raushan har su
kahkashan phaili hai yun rahguzar ho jaise

chand ne kis ke liye bhejin ru-pahli kirnen
chandni chhitki hai daman-e-guhar ho jaise

chappe chappe pe hain khush-rang kanwal mahke hue
dil mera aap ki yaadon ka nagar ho jaise
