chhan kar dekh li reg-e-dasht-e-ziyan
dhundh pae na hum dusra aasman

ajnabi mausamon ki udanon mein tute paron ki tarah
hum jiye bhi to kya

kis ne dekha hamein
chashm-e-nam ke kinaron pe thahre hue manzaron ki tarah

raat ki aankh se bah gae khwab bhi hum bhi
madum ki an-suli nind mein

yaad ke taq mein ab tamanna ki lo
ka nishan tak nahin

wahima sa hai bas
koi aahat thi hamrah ya kuchh na tha

khwab-e-hasti hamein ek aziyyat bhare
dam-e-madumiyat ke siwa kuchh na tha
