KHushi ki aarzu kya dil mein Thahre

aaj phir shaKH se gire patte

dariya ki mauj hi mein nahin iztirab hai

hum ek Dhalti hui dhup ke taaqub mein

kya jaane kitne hi rangon mein Dubi hai

jo sada gunjti thi kanon mein

ye pili shaKH par baiThe hue pile parinde

hum aaj kuchh hasin sarabon mein kho gae

nam likha liya to phir karte ho hae hae kyon

sare din dasht-e-tajassus mein bhaTak kar so gaya

suraj aankhen khol raha hai sukhe hue daraKHton mein

mujhko talim se nafrat hi sahi

roz murgha bana kare koi

KHatm chhuTTi madrase ka dar khula

nikli jo aaj tak na kisi ki zaban se
