aaj ki raat bhi phir khwab jagaen ge mujhe
phir wo karwat se khayalon ke tasalsul ko mitane ki kashid-e-koshish

jism ke dard ko silwat mein samo ke
wahi bistar pe tadapte hue mahjuri-e-jaanan ko

kabhi aah kabhi sans ki gahrai mein shal karne ki
sai-e-nakaam

ye bhi malum hai
ye nim rassi fahm ki diwar talak jast

ye sae ki taswir kisi shakl-o-shabahat ke tasalsul ke nishan hain lekin
na-suburi ye badan todti angdaiyan

honton pe mahakti larzish
baat ko rabt ke aahang mein lane ki talab

mere sine ka dhuan aankhen sharabor kiye
har bun-e-mu ko mulaqat ka juya kar de

aankh chadhte hue dariya ki tarah hai pur-ab
panw phisle hai to phir sans ka rishta na rahe

hum to chahen magar is dil ko ye achchha na lage
jaan-kani had se badhi chaaragaro kuchh to karo
