ek khwab ke fasle pe lahu hai
kohsar ke surmai kinare

wadi se shafaq uchhaalte hain
ji mein ye bhara hua sunahra

bhitar mein ruka hua dasahra
kaghaz pe numu karega kab tak

ai harf-e-sitara-saz ab to
uthti hai qanat raushni ki

zulmat ka shiar hai ikahra
khufta hai jihat jihat ujala

imkan hai basit aur gahra
