kar-zar-e-dahr mein kya nusrat-o-gham dekhna

kabhi hai gul kabhi shamshir sa hai

pahle to ek KHwab tha KHakistar-o-KHawar ke bich

main apne panw baDhaun magar kahan aage

ye martaba koshish se mayassar nahin hota

kisi ke dast-e-talab ko pukarta hun main

hain ab to hile-bahane ke qil-o-qal ke din

kya ranj ki yusuf ka KHaridar nahin hai

KHwab nahin hai sannaTa hai lekin hai tabir bahut

dushman-wushman neza-weza KHanjar-wanjar kya

paniyon mein rasta shoalon mein ghar dekhega kaun

phir wahi KHana-e-barbaad hamare liye hai

misal-e-KHwab hamesha kisi safar mein rahe

ye khet sabza shajar rahguzar sannaTa

hamari nind mein koi sarab-e-KHwab bhi nahin
