agar mujhe ye guman bhi ho
ki khwab mein main na dekh paunga

tera chehra gudaz banhen udas aankhen
mere labon ko talash karte hue tere lab

qasam hai mujh ko guzarti naddi ke paniyon ki
main apni ninden jala ke rakh dun

agar mujhe ye yaqin bhi ho
ki sabz patte hawa ki aahat na sun sakenge

gulab mausam barasti barish na sah sakega
chamakti shakhon pe ek shagufa na rah sakega

to phir bhi main tera nam le kar
tarasti aankhon ko band kar lun

ki nind aae to main tere khwab dekh paun
ye khwahishen hain ki sang-reze

jo aasmanon se mere dil par baras rahe hain
ye dhup hai ya aziyyaton ka sarab-e-dozakh

ye log hain ya khala ki wusat mein dur hote hue sitare
kahan gaya nind ka parinda

paron se lori sunane wala
wo tere manzar dikhane wala
