bila-jawaz nahin hai falak se jang meri
ajab rang-e-tilism-o-tarz-e-nau hai
ek bujhao ek jalao KHwab ka kya hai
khanDar ye phir basane ka irada hi nahin tha
nai nai suraten badan par ujalta hun
miTTi tha aur dudh mein gundha gaya mujhe
KHamoshi ki qirat karne wale log
aag mein jalte hue dekha gaya hai
ret muTThi mein bhari pani se aaghaz kiya
ujala hi ujala raushni hi raushni hai
shahr se kya gai jaanib-e-dasht-ezar zindagi faKHta
chand chhune ki talabgar nahin ho sakti
KHwab-kari wahi kamKHwab wahi hai ki nahin
gaya ki sail-e-rawan ka bahaw aisa tha
koi siwa-e-badan hai na hai wara-e-badan
