ek khwab-e-hazimat duniya
ek aahat dawam khwahish ki

ek jodi qadim hathon ki
aur aankhon ke band farghul mein

ek khwahish hamesha rahne ki
ek bistar purani yaadon ka

aur soya hua dil-e-wahshi
aahani ungliyon ke panje mein

ek ghani tirgi ke raste mein
zaiqa bhuli-bisri barish ka

ek saya jhuka hua dil par
der tak aasman se girti hui

ek maddham sada darichon mein
ek pur-shor sail ki aawaz

sans ki silwaten duboti hui
kaun tha is samay ke aangan mein

jagti raat ko thapakta hua
kaun tha raat-din ke phere mein

gai duniyaon se ubharta hua
ro raha tha dayar-e-ghurbat mein

aur madum ke ilaqe mein
apni aankhon mein dal kar mitti

khwab takta hua main bachpan ke
ek hanste hue guzishta mein
