ki shayad khizan chhu gai use
aaj khamosh hai

chal ke dekhen kahin
aaj phir zer-e-dil

ek masum khwahish ki shiddat
phir kisi adh-jale khwab ki justuju to nahin

titliyan sabz-o-nili
sar-phire raqs-o-bu ke jahan se

kitni manus-o-sarshaar hain
aur main apne achchhe khuda se

kitni bezar hun
thak gai hun

chand taron ko chhune ki khwahish
chotiyon tak pahunchne ki khwahish

ek be-naghma be-saz wusat
dil dhadakne se bhi hichkichae

surat-e-dud sa ye gurezan
nili tarikiyon se shagufta

qahqahe marti main jo nikli
mere khwabon ke bedar chehre

sare sahil pe nauha-khwan hain
