raat ek khwab ne aankhen mere andar kholin
aur bistar ki shikan khinch ke sidhi kar di

phir sirhane se ikatthe kiye guzre lamhe
ek taswir bana kar sar-e-mizhgan rakh di

aankh kholungi to ye bojh girega aise
aankh ka gumbad-e-simab pighal jaega

mere sab khwabon khayalon ko nigal jaega
aur agar aankh na kholi to ye girya karte

sar patakte hue lamhe kisi dimak ki tarah
aankh ke band ghilafon se chipak jaenge

is imarat ka har ek naqsh mita dalenge
ab jo karte hain ye bistar ka tawaf aahista

mere hone ke bahane se zara pahle hi
is dariche mein ubhar aae sahar ki aahat

satwen phere ke aane se zara pahle hi
