ye aarzu ke sitare ye intizar ke phul

chhalak uTha jo kabhi KHun-e-arzu mera

thi nazar ke samne kuchh to talafi ki umid

gham nairang dikhata hai hasti ki jalwa-numai ka

kabhi kabhi safar-e-zindagi se ruTh ke hum

KHwab dekha tha kahan chamki hai tabir kahan

apne gham ki fikr na ki is duniya ki gham-KHwari mein

aao hum hanste uThen bazm-e-dil-azaran se

wo arz-e-gham pe meri un ka ehtimam-e-sukut

taKHliq ke parde mein sitam TuT rahe hain
