yun sunahri dhup bikhri hai ruKH-e-kohsar par

kal talak qane raha jo gardish-e-taqdir par

ji mein aata hai ki ek roz ye manzar dekhen

zindagi ne baKHsha hai zahr-e-agahi mujhko

shahron ki KHak chhan kar aaya hun ganw mein

dastanon mein wo jadu hai na tafsiron mein hai

aankh ke kunj mein ek dasht-e-tamanna le kar

ji mein aata hai ki ek roz ye manzar dekhen

aaj kuchh andesha-e-sarsar nahin

bana hai dushman-e-gul jab se baghban apna

yun bane-sanwre hue se phul hain gulzar mein

fikr ka sabza mila jazbaat ki kai mili

paDa hua main kisi aaine ke ghar mein hun

chehre pe uske ashk ki tahrir ban gai

har bulbul-e-mushtaq tah-e-dam hai ab bhi
