KHwab-o-KHayal-e-gul se kidhar jae aadmi

sham ke maskan mein viran mai-kade ka dar khula

Dar ke kisi se chhup jata hai jaise sanp KHazane mein

hansi chhupa bhi gaya aur nazar mila bhi gaya

thakan se rah mein chalna muhaal bhi hai mujhe

nil-e-falak ke ism mein naqsh-e-asir ke sabab

shab-e-visal mein duri ka KHwab kyun aaya

din agar chaDhta udhar se main idhar se jagta

hain rawan us rah par jis ki koi manzil na ho

sun bastiyon ka haal jo had se guzar gain

KHalish-e-hijr-e-daimi na gai

ranj-e-firaq-e-yar mein ruswa nahin hua

rangon ki wahshaton ka tamasha thi baam-e-sham

shab-e-mahtab ne shah-nashin pe ajib gul sa khila diya

KHayal jis ka tha mujhe KHayal mein mila mujhe
