aankhon mein ek KHwab pas-e-KHwab aur hai
hisab-e-tark-talluq tamam maine kiya
baadal ki tarah ranj-fishani karen hum bhi
ek kitab sirhane rakh di ek charagh sitara kiya
nazar ke bhed sab ahl-e-nazar samajhte hain
ajib Dhang se maine yahan guzara kiya
mata-e-harf bhi KHushbu ke ma-siwa kya hai
bichhaD gaya hai to ab us se kuchh gila bhi nahin
hairat se takta hai sahra barish ke nazrane ko
har ek lamha-e-maujud intizar mein tha
dil mein rakkhe hue aankhon mein basae hue shaKHs
guzar chali hai shab-e-dil-figar aaKHiri bar
diwar pe rakkha hua miTTi ka diya main
nazron ki tarah log nazare ki tarah hum
numu-pazir hai ek dasht-e-be-numu mujh mein
