khwab hai ya koi tasawwur hai
ye tawazun ye fikr ka mizan

itna gahra khamosh aawaza
har taharruk ba-qadr-e-andaza

be-hisari ka ye madum hisar
kaenaton ka be-shumar shumar

qulzum-e-be-kanar ka aalam
aalamon ke ghubar ka aalam

kahkashaon ke haar la-mahdud
mehr-e-be-ikhtiyar la-mahdud

behad-o-be-hisab sayyare
dagh be-dagh be-panah tare

aisa be-ant hai khala kyunkar
ye khuda gar hai ye khuda hai gar

is haqiqat ki kya haqiqat hai
juz tasawwur kahan ye wusat hai
