ummid ka bab likh raha hun

dil ki dahliz pe jab sham ka saya utra

subh aankh khulti hai ek din nikalta hai

safar mein ek jag tamam ho gaya

hum tirgi mein shama jalae hue to hain

habib-jalib

dil ki dahliz pe jab sham ka saya utra

tishna-kaamon ko yahan kaun subu deta hai

ashkon mein piro ke uski yaaden

sab ummiden mere aashob-e-tamanna tak thin

shahr-e-na-pursan mein kuchh apna pata milta nahin
