mera chaak-e-gireban chaak-e-dil se milne wala hai

dilon ki uqda-kushai ka waqt hai ki nahin

shahr jin ke nam se zinda tha wo sab uTh gae

Tilism-e-KHwab-e-zuleKHa o dam-e-barda-farosh

KHuda ka shukr hai tu ne bhi man li meri baat

mana ki zindagi mein hai zid ka bhi ek maqam

gham-e-hayat o gham-e-dost ki kashakash mein

mubham se ek KHwab ki tabir ka hai shauq

zahr ka jam hi de zahr bhi hai aab-e-hayat

mahak mein zahr ki ek lahr bhi KHwabida rahti hai

sulag raha hai ufuq bujh rahi hai aatish-e-mahr

wafa ki raat koi ittifaq thi lekin

waqt hi wo KHat-e-fasil hai ki ai ham-nafaso

aisi koi KHabar to nahin sakinan-e-shahr

bahaar chaak-e-gireban mein Thahr jati hai
