KHwabon ki rahguzar se KHayalon ki rah se

mata-o-mal jo le jae to ghanimat hai

hum Thaharne ke nahin umr-e-rawan rakhte hain

ye silsila ghamon ka na jaane kahan se hai

daulat mere pichhe na sharafat mere aage

dil jise chahe wahi chehra jabin lagta hai

aaj us bazm mein yun dad-e-wafa di jae

ye dil har ek nai koshish pe yun dhaDakta hai

na sirf ye ki zamane ka Dhab dikhai de

main hi kashti bhi hun mallah bhi tufan bhi hun

wo kahan qasr-e-ali-shan mein KHush

jaan ki bari hai ab dil ka ziyan aisa na tha

aawazon ke jal bichhae jate hain

ruh se kab ye jism juda hai

zahr-e-gham KHub piya humne sharabon se bache
