KHwab sahra teri tabir nikal aai hai

ghulam sar pe ibaadat abhi na rakkhi jae

ek manzar iztirabi ek manzar se ziyaada

guzar gai hai mujhe reg-zar karti hui

kaun kis ke sath rahta hai makan hote hue bhi

dekhte dekhte jab maut sitare ki hui

sitam ki intiha par chal rahi hai

ghar-bar kahan kucha o bazar meri jaan

KHala mein tair raha hai sawal duniya ka

asbab kahan jaan-e-jahan dekhte rahna

wo kaun hain phulon ki hifazat nahin karte

ek arz-e-muddaa hone se pahle

yaqin hai jis pe wahi bad-guman nikalta hai

ek mafruza taqaddus KHud pe tari kar raha hun

muqaddas pattharon par muddaa raushan na hone ka
