kabhi tegh-e-tez supurd ki kabhi tohfa-e-gul-e-tar diya

furaat-e-fasila se dajla-e-dua se udhar

gada-e-shahr-e-ainda tahi-kasa milega

jangal mein kabhi jo ghar banaun

wahin par mera sim-tan bhi to hai

thami hui hai kahkashan apne hath se

qindil-e-mah-o-mehr ka aflak pe hona

yak-ba-yak manzar-e-hasti ka naya ho jaana

achchha sa koi sapna dekho aur mujhe dekho

ek roz main bhi bagh-e-adan ko nikal gaya

jaane usne kya dekha shahr ke manare mein

aankhon mein saughat sameTe apne ghar aate hain

ghar se nikla to mulaqat hui pani se

kis par poshida aur kis pe ayan hona tha

raat baghiche pe thi aur raushni patthar mein thi
