karishma-saz-e-azal kya tilism bandha hai

hairat-e-jalwa muqaddar hai to jalwa kya hai

din ko kar-e-daraaz-e-dahr raha

chashm-e-mushtaq ne ye KHwab ajab dekhe hain

palak jhapakte mein kaTte hain roz o shab mah o sal

gham-e-dil ham-rahi kare na kare

muhit-e-KHwab se ek baad-e-tah-nashin ubhri

KHuda-shanas bahut hum bhi the magar ab ke

lafz o manzar mein maani ko TaTola na karo

ye shahr shahr ki aabaadiyan fana ki taraf

karoDon sal ka dekha hua tamasha hai

wo na chahe to main bina na rahun
