mujh ko lauta de mera mazi ki waqt-e-sang-dil
aaj main bhi ai dil-e-afsurda thoda sabr kar

tujh se poshida nahin main kis qadar majbur hun
aaj main bhi tere kuche ka gadagar ban gaya

ab kahan wo walwale main ek shikaston ka mazar
ban ke rah-e-justuju mein rah gaya hun aaj gham

meri nakaami ke afsane sunaega mujhe
waqt tha jab ek aalam mere qadmon ke nishan

dhundhta phirta tha har virana o har shahr mein
aur tu hairan tha meri tezi-e-raftar par

yaad hai tujh ko meri parwaz ka aalam ki jab
raat bhar mere taaqub mein falak ka karwan

gamzan rahta tha aur main ne sahar se bhi pare
ek nai duniya bana li thi nai duniya-e-shauq

kyon teri taqdir mein tha aisa koi inqalab
kyon teri taufiq mein aisi koi takhliq thi

khwab mera pairahan the khwab meri zindagi
khwab mere ham-safar the khwab mere rahnuma

main faqat ek khwab tha lekin mukammal khwab tha
