jal bujha hun main magar sara jahan tak mein hai

siyah raat ke badan pe dagh ban ke rah gae

bas ek tere KHwab se inkar nahin hai

zara si dhup zara si nami ke aane se

yaad karte ho mujhe suraj nikal jaane ke baad

kahin pe jism kahin par KHayal rahta hai

tah-ba-tah hai raaz koi aab ki tahwil mein

hamesha dil mein rahta hai kabhi goya nahin jata

dil badalne se na aflak badal jaane se

waqt se pahle daraKHton pe samar aane lage

kis lamhe hum tera dhyan nahin karte

kyun aankhen band kar ke raste mein chal raha hun

thapak thapak ke jinhen hum sulate rahte hain

main jidhar jaun mera KHwab nazar aata hai

zawal mein bhi raha dil-nashin nazara mera
