peT ki aag mein barbaad jawani kar ke

umr guzri hai kaamrani se

dard shayan-e-shan-e-dil bhi nahin

raat ka husn bhala kab wo samajhta hoga

KHayal-o-KHwab mein Dubi diwar-o-dar banati hain

dil ke bujhte hue zaKHmon ko hawa deta hai

hain gardishen bhi rawan baKHt ke sitare mein

KHwab-nagar ke shahzade ne aise bhi nirwan liya

zindagani ki haqiqat tab hi khulti hai miyan

pur-nur KHayalon ki barsat teri baaten

ehsas ka qissa hai sunana to paDega

is bazm-e-tasawwur mein bas yar ki baaten hain

usne nigah-e-lutf-e-karam bar bar ki

hijr ka ye karb sara be-asar ho jaega

kabhi azabon mein bas rahi hai kabhi ye KHwabon mein kaT rahi hai
