sina-e-khwab khule
jis tarah pyar mein dubi hui aankhon pe larazti hui

palkon ka nasha khulta hai
jis tarah band kitabon pe kisi phul ke khulne ka guman khulta hai

jis tarah hath ki poron pe kabhi
pahle pahle se kisi tajraba-e-lams-e-mohabbat ka asar khulta hai

sina-e-khwab khule
sina-e-khwab khule aur mein dekhun wo kam-asar jawani ka khumar

wahi hairat jise main ne faqat ek sans ki dori
mein piro lene ki khwahish ki thi

wo tazabzub ki jise kam-sin-o-kam-khwab' nigahon ke bharose ne
gulab aur chameli ki mahak bakhshi thi

murtaish honton pe mauhum tabassum ka wo ehsas jise
harf-o-awaz baghair

kaba-e-dil ne tere chehra-e-gulfam pe mabus kiya
aur phir meri nigahon ki taraf

tere aaghaz ko bedar kiya
ai sukhan-saz nigahon wale

waqt ne umr-e-guzishta ke kai bab likhe
aur har bab ki dahliz kisi khwab-e-muqaffal ki tarah gum-sum hai

koi dastak koi aawaz koi harf-e-saba
koi tadbir ki is lamha-e-maujud ke mar jaane se pahle pahle

kash is khwab-e-muqaffal ka bhi sina khul jae
aur main dekh sakun

tere mauhum tabassum ki kahani ka hawala kya tha
aur ab mujh se gunahgar-e-mohabbat ki tabahi ka izala kya hai
