yun sunahri dhup bikhri hai ruKH-e-kohsar par

kal talak qane raha jo gardish-e-taqdir par

ji mein aata hai ki ek roz ye manzar dekhen

zindagi ne baKHsha hai zahr-e-agahi mujhko

shahron ki KHak chhan kar aaya hun ganw mein

dastanon mein wo jadu hai na tafsiron mein hai

aaj kuchh andesha-e-sarsar nahin

aankh ke kunj mein ek dasht-e-tamanna le kar

ji mein aata hai ki ek roz ye manzar dekhen

fikr ka sabza mila jazbaat ki kai mili

bana hai dushman-e-gul jab se baghban apna

yun bane-sanwre hue se phul hain gulzar mein

paDa hua main kisi aaine ke ghar mein hun

chehre pe uske ashk ki tahrir ban gai

har bulbul-e-mushtaq tah-e-dam hai ab bhi
