raat nadida balaon ke asar mein hum the

KHwab ko din ki shikaston ka mudawa na samajh

yahin kahin pe kabhi shola-kar main bhi tha

main wo hun jis pe abr ka saya paDa nahin

ye kaun aaya shabistan ke KHwab pahne hue

ek yaad ki maujudgi sah bhi nahin sakte

wo aag hun ki nahin chain ek aan mujhe

wo dukh jo soe hue hain unhen jaga dunga

jaan pyari thi magar jaan se be-zari thi

sab kuchh na kahin sog manane mein chala jae

aag ho dil mein to aankhon mein dhanak paida ho

tujhe KHabar hai tujhe yaad kyun nahin karte

main khil nahin saka ki mujhe nam nahin mila

ye zulm hai KHayal se ojhal na kar use

miTTi thi KHafa mauj uTha le gai hum ko
