yaqinan hum ko ghar achchhe lage the

apne baad haqiqat ya afsana chhoDa tha

baiThe biThae aaj phir kis ka KHayal aa gaya

ye shahr-e-tarab dekh bayaban mein kya hai

kaise badal rahe ho batata nahin hai kya

rang hawa mein phail raha hai

aisi tan-asani se

kab tak us ka hijr manata sahra chhoD diya

kya phir zamin dil ki namnak ho rahi hai

KHushk dariyaon ko pani de KHuda

duniya ko is bar fasana kar dunga

manzar roz badal deta hun apni narm-KHayali se

koi kuchh bataega kya ho gaya

hawa-e-sham na jaane kahan se aati hai

teri nisbat se apni zat ka idrak karne mein
