na jaane kaun si saat mein ye guman hua
baid khwab ke rauzan se jhankta hai koi

ghunuda zehn ke aafaq ho gae raushan
kasal ke sath shuur-e-zaman hua bedar

pas-e-shuur jo bikhre pade the mashkize
tulua-e-zat ke ehsas se hue labrez

magar wo khwab jo gharq-e-shuur the yaksar
bisat-e-chashm pe jin ko abhi ubharna tha

wo sare khwab kahin aur kar gae hijrat
wo khwab jo mere mazi ke aabgine the

wo khwab jin se mera haal tha abhi mansub
wo khwab jo meri maujudgi ke zamin the

jo aabna-e-tasawwur ki lahr bante the
bisat-e-chashm pe jin ko abhi ubharna tha

wo sare khwab kahin aur kar gae hijrat
na jaane kaun si saat mein ye guman hua

baid khwab ke rauzan se jhankta hai koi
