khwahishon ke ghane bargad ke tale jo kat jae
zindagi khwab-gah-e-nikhat-e-gesu to nahin

naghma-e-arzu sanson mein ghula jata hai
hasraten kawish-e-insan ki jibillat to nahin

phir bujha sa hai nigahon mein charagh-e-sahari
rah gae khwab adhure meri palkon ke tale

apne hi khun mein rangi wasl ki betab ghadi
zakhm-dar-zakhm kai waqt ke khanjar tute

ek ehsas hi ab zinda-o-painda hai
khwahishon ke ghane bargad ke tale zist kate

mausam-e-kaif khush-anjam ki ummid liye
nim-taban ye nazar harf-e-dua ho jae
