sun bastiyon ka haal jo had se guzar gain

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

KHayal-e-yakta mein KHwab itne

hansi chhupa bhi gaya aur nazar mila bhi gaya

nawah-e-wusat-e-maidan mein hairani bahut hai

Dar ke kisi se chhup jata hai jaise sanp KHazane mein

mahfil-ara the magar phir kam-numa hote gae

rangon ki wahshaton ka tamasha thi baam-e-sham

sahn ko chamka gai belon ko gila kar gai

ek nagar ke naqsh bhula dun ek nagar ijad karun

bas ek mah-e-junun-KHez ki ziya ke siwa

hai shakl teri gulab jaisi

thi jis ki justuju wo haqiqat nahin mili

ashk-e-rawan ki nahr hai aur hum hain dosto

pi li to kuchh pata na chala wo surur tha
