raat ek nile khwab mein main ne
pani ki aamezish se

gundhe gae gandumi rang mein
apni mahbuba ke jaise

do nim-barhana jism hain dekhe
pahla khushi ka

duja gham ka
surat qamat aur badan ke khadd-o-khal bhi ek jaise the

bas donon mein ek farq tha
gham ke jism mein paya main ne

ek gahra sa naf-piyala
