ye sard raat ye aawargi ye nind ka bojh

wo KHwab hi sahi pesh-e-nazar to ab bhi hai

sukut wo bhi musalsal sukut kya mani

maqtal-e-jaan se ki zindan se ki ghar se nikle

teri talash mein jaane kahan bhaTak jaun

ye KHud-e-farebi-e-ehsas-e-arzu to nahin

ghar to aisa kahan ka tha lekin

ai dopahar ki dhup bata kya jawab dun

chaman mein rakhte hain kanTe bhi ek maqam ai dost

gar qayamat ye nahin hai to qayamat kya hai

aasmanon se farishte jo utare jaen

jaane kab tufan bane aur rasta rasta bichh jae

jaane kis moD pe le aai hamein teri talab

jab se ummid gaya hai koi!!
