aab o hawa hai barsar-e-paikar kaun hai

ijz-e-KHak-sari kyun faKHr-e-kaj-kulahi kya

abhi hairat ziyaada aur ujala kam rahega

chashm be-KHwab hui shahr ki virani se

tilism-KHana-e-asbab mere samne tha

dil tujhe naz hai jis shaKHs ki dildari par

wo aankhen jin se mulaqat ek bahana hua

abhi jo gardish-e-ayyam se mila hun main

kabhi sitare kabhi kahkashan bulata hai

mohlat na mili KHwab ki tabir uThate

na is tarah koi aaya hai aur na aata hai

main KHayal hun kisi aur ka mujhe sochta koi aur hai

wo jin ke naqsh-e-qadam dekhne mein aate hain

ek ghaDi wasl ki be-wasl hui hai mujh mein

yaad kahan rakhni hai tera KHwab kahan rakhna hai
