silsile khwab ke gumnam jaziron ki tarah
sina-e-ab pe hain raqs-kunan

kaun samjhe ki ye andesha-e-farda ki fusun-kari hai
mah o khurshid ne phenke hain kai jal idhar

tirgi gesu-e-shab-tar ki zanjir liye
mere khwabon ko jakadne ke liye aai hai

ye tilism-e-sahr-o-sham bhala kya jaane
kitne dil khun hain angusht hinai ke liye

kitne dil bujh gae jab ru-e-nigaran mein chamak aai hai
khwab hain qaid-e-makan qaid-e-zaman se aage

kis ko mil sakta hai udte hue lamhon ka suragh
kitni sadiyon ki masafat se ubharta hai

khat-e-rah-guzar
