ab ye aankhen kisi taskin se tabinda nahin

sham-e-haq shoabada-e-harf dikha kar le jae

kaise dukh kitni chah se dekha

raste tera sahi sine to be-nur nahin

ek KHwab tha aankhon mein jo ab ashk-e-sahar hai

kitne imkan the jo KHwabon ke sahaare dekhe

aaj hi mahfil sard paDi hai aaj hi dard farawan hai

ai dil-nashin talash teri ku-ba-ku na thi

dukh tamasha to nahin hai ki dikhaen baba

soz-e-dil bhi nahin sukun bhi hai

chheDi bhi jo rasm-o-rah ki baat

kitni der aur hai ye bazm-e-tarab-nak na kah

kahan ka sabr sau sau bar diwanon ke dil TuTe

kashkol hai to la idhar aa kar laga sada

munjamid honTon pe hai yaKH ki tarah harf-e-junun
