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
ek bujhao ek jalao KHwab ka kya hai
pani ke shishon mein rakkhi jati hai
ba-tarz-e-KHwa sajaani paDi hai aaKHir-kar
KHwab-kari wahi kamKHwab wahi hai ki nahin
chand chhune ki talabgar nahin ho sakti
koi siwa-e-badan hai na hai wara-e-badan
miTTi tha aur dudh mein gundha gaya mujhe
ujala hi ujala raushni hi raushni hai
aag mein jalte hue dekha gaya hai
sakit ho magar sab ko rawani nazar aae
