aankhen asir-e-KHwab thin KHwab ek hi se the
ye rahguzar to kisi rahguzar ka dhoka hai
kya kahen zindagi ka kya kije
tujhe pa kar bhi jab koi kami mahsus hoti hai
ek paikar hai ki imsal mein aata hi nahin
ajab ek baat uski baat mein thi
mubtala KHud ko kisi gham mein musalsal rakhna
guzri hui wo rut kabhi aani to hai nahin
ashkon se dhul ke aaina-KHana badal gaya
tufan samajh liya kabhi sahil bana liya
main agar aaine banata hun
hum to aasan samajhte the ki rasta kam tha
wo jo etibar-e-jamal the wo kahan gae
pahle to shahr bhar mein misal aaine hue
shab ke hathon gira aur kahin rah gaya
