kaise kaise mile din ko sae hamein

saya jis ka nazar aata hai mujhe

andar to KHayalon ke ho aae KHayal apna

KHayal-e-zehn-shikan se zaban bhar aa jae

apni aag mein bhunti jae bunti jae kafan apna

jo zaKHmon se apne bahalte rahenge

be-tahi yahi hogi ye jahan kahin honge

kuchh na hone ki haqiqat nahin jaani yani

ek lahr si dekhi gai pae na gae hum

mujhko talab to nai duniya ki hai

naqqad apne aap ka be-lag aisa kaun hai

KHirad yaqin ke sukun-zar ki talash mein hai

umr bhar jis pe takiya raha kuchh na tha dil nahin manta

usko pa jaun kabhi aisa muqaddar hai kahan

mahrumiyon ka ek sabab josh-e-talab KHud bhi to hai
