ajab rang-e-tilism-o-tarz-e-nau hai
bila-jawaz nahin hai falak se jang meri
KHwab jazira ban sakte the nahin bane
shahr se kya gai jaanib-e-dasht-ezar zindagi faKHta
ret muTThi mein bhari pani se aaghaz kiya
pani ke shishon mein rakkhi jati hai
ek bujhao ek jalao KHwab ka kya hai
ba-tarz-e-KHwa sajaani paDi hai aaKHir-kar
KHwab-kari wahi kamKHwab wahi hai ki nahin
miTTi tha aur dudh mein gundha gaya mujhe
chand chhune ki talabgar nahin ho sakti
koi siwa-e-badan hai na hai wara-e-badan
ujala hi ujala raushni hi raushni hai
aag mein jalte hue dekha gaya hai
sakit ho magar sab ko rawani nazar aae
