hasin khwabon ki aarzu thi
ki chand taron ki anjuman mein

bahaar-e-rangin ki justuju mein
faza-e-dilkash ki khamushi mein

charagh-e-millat ki lau badhae
naqib-e-subh-e-jamil ban kar

mile the hum ahl-e-karwan se
jo su-e-manzil rawan-dawan the

ajab irade hazar wade
unhin iradon ki raushni mein

yaqin-e-mohkam ke ban ke paikar
lahu ke dariya se par ho kar

masarraton ki baraat le kar
nai umangon ko sath le kar

ummid-e-farda se lau lagae
chale the lane naya sawera

magar jo khurshid-e-subh nikla
tilism-e-khwab-o-khayal tute

na chand taron ki anjuman thi
na rang-o-nikhat ki justuju thi
