ye raat din ki udasi ye be-hisi ye thakan
hayat hai ki tah-e-barf na-damida chaman

wo sabza meri nazar se mere jahan se dur
magar kahin wo chaman wo hayat hai to sahi

ye dil mein ek kasak si meri zaban se dur
zaban se dur sahi koi baat hai to sahi

chaman ko barf ki tah mein numu ki khwahish hai
hayat ko tapish-e-arzu ki khwahish hai
