ye jaan-gudaz safar dam-e-KHwab ho na kahin

ajab si koi be-yaqin raat thi

asir-e-dasht-e-tilismat aab se nikle

bagule bahut hain meri ghat mein

wo tez harf jo phenka guzarne wale ne

safar ka KHwab tha aab-e-rawan pe rakkha tha

kanar-e-dasht akele Thaharne par hoga

tayyar bahut mauj rawani ke liye hai

KHas-e-badan mein ba-rang-e-sharar aae koi

ek ajab wahshat se dil sinon mein be-kal ho gae

aankh mein kitne tilismat-e-jahan paoge

samajh raha hai zamana riya ke pichhe hun

ab yahan logon ke dukh-sukh ka pata kya aae

jo barf-zar chir de aisi kiran bhi la

chaDha pani zara tu apne dhaare se nikal aaya
