dasne lage hain khvab magar kis se boliye
main janti thi paal rahi huun sanpoliye
bas ye hua ki us ne takalluf se baat ki
aur ham ne rote rote dupatte bhigo liye
palkon pe kachchi nindon ka ras phailta ho jab
aise men aankh dhuup ke rukh kaise kholiye
teri barhana-pai ke dukh bantte hue
ham ne khud apne paanv men kante chubho liye
main tera naam le ke tazabzub men pad gai
sab log apne apne azizon ko ro liye
khush-bu kahin na jaae pa israr hai bahut
aur ye bhi aarzu ki zara zulf kholiye
tasvir jab nai hai naya canvas bhi hai
phir tashtari men rang purane na gholiye
