kya kya na khawab hijr ke mosam me kho gae
ham jagte rahe thay magar bakht so gae
us ne pyam bheje to raste me reh gae
ham ne jo khat likhe wo hawa burd ho gae
main sheher e gul me zakhm ka chehra kise dikhaun
shabnam badast log to kante chubho gae
aanchal me phool le ke kahan ja rahi hun main
jo aney waley log thay, wo log to gae
kia janye,ufaq ke udhar kia talissam he
lotey nahi zameen pe, ik bar jo gae
jese badan se qos e qazah phootne lagi
barish ke hath phool ke sab zakhm dho gae
aankhon me dheere dheere utar ke purane gham
palkon me nanhey nanhey sitarey piro gae
wo bachpane ki neend to ab khawab ho gai
kia umar thi ke rat hui or so gae
kia dukh thay, kon jan sakey ga, nigar e shab!
jo meray or teray dopatte bhigo gae!
