na nind hai na KHwab hai na yaad hai na raat hai
kaenat-e-gham mein zehn ek KHala hai
dil mein umang aur irada koi to ho
ghar ko yun toDo ki phir hasrat-e-tamir na ho
zyaada kuchh nahin mar jaenge kisi din hum
sarf chehra hi nazar aata hai aaine mein
hamare pas na dil hai na dil ki baat koi
aisa ho zindagi mein koi KHwab hi na ho
shab-e-siyah se niklega mahtab koi
bula raha hai mujhe aasman tumhaari taraf
fana ke raste phulon se bhar gae shayad
charagh duniya ke sare bujha ke chalta hun
lafz ki kaenat mein gum hun
junun ziyaada bahut hota aql kam hoti
jhulaste lamhon ka lams le kar main chal raha hun
