mizaj-e-mustaqil dena shuur-e-moatabar dena

dil mein rahna kabhi KHwabon ke nagar mein rahna

KHwab tere hain ye KHwabon ka nagar tera hai

ba-juz KHayal-e-gham-e-mohabbat koi mera ham-safar nahin hai

tera husn hai wo sahba ki koi misal kya de

ruKH se fitrat ke hijabaat uTha deta hai

kabhi shadman kabhi pur-alam tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho

yarab dil-o-nazar pe musallat kabhi na ho

gham dete hain to iztirab na de

kabhi shuur kabhi dil kabhi suKHan mahke

teri taswir ko dhundla nahin hone denge

ab saliben shah-rahon par saja di jaengi

haqiqaton se kabhi inhiraf mat kije
