shikasta KHwab mere aaine mein rakkhe hain
wafa ke jurm mein aksar pukare jate hain
nazar nazar se milaoge mare jaoge
mile kuchh ishq mein itna qarar kam-az-kam
usi ka dard hai jis ke jigar ka lasha hai
meri kahani ke kirdar sans lete hain
subh tak be-talab main jagunga
alag main sab se kahani bhi hai alag sab se
kahin se aaya tumhaara KHayal waise hi
main kaise jhel sakunga banane wale ka dukh
tanab-e-zat kisi hath mein jami hui hai
jhulasti dhup mein mujhko jala ke marega
teri taswir uThai hui hai
jo tera rang tha us rang se na kah paya
wahi thi kal bhi pasand aur wahi hai aaj pasand
