niiñd ke raushan baab kī ab bhī gunjā.ish hai
āñkhoñ meñ ik ḳhvāb kī ab bhī gunjā.ish hai
gāñv-numā ghar shahr meñ laakh banāyā lekin
āñgan dar mehrāb kī ab bhī gunjā.ish hai
mujh ko dukh dene vāloñ māyūs na honā
āñkhoñ meñ sailāb kī ab bhī gunjā.ish hai
raat ke dāman meñ raushan hai kitne jugnū
lekin ik mahtāb kī ab bhī gunjā.ish hai
sāhil par aa kar bhī aisā kyoñ lagtā hai
jaise ik girdāb kī ab bhī gunjā.ish hai
nayā zamāna ham ko bhī taslīm hai lekin
un pichhle ādāb kī ab bhī gunjā.ish hai
chīḳh rahī hai ziist ke dariyā kī ḳhamoshī
ik mauj-e-betāb kī ab bhī gunjā.ish hai
