main sochta huun agar is taraf vo aa jaata charagh-e-umr ki lau ik zara badha jaata ajiib bhul-bhulayyan hai rasta

kabhi jo rasta hamvar karne lagta huun kuchh aur bhi use dushvar karne lagta huun mire vajud ke andar bhadakne

fasil-e-shahr-e-tamanna men dar banate hue ye kaun dil men dar aaya hai ghar banate hue nasheb-e-chashm-e-tamasha bana gaya mujh ko

har phuul hai havaon ke rukh par khila hua aur men huun apne khvab ke andar khila hua ye main

qadam qadam pe kisi imtihan ki zad men hai zamin ab bhi kahin asman ki zad men hai har ek

nigah ke liye ik khvab bhi ghanimat hai vo tirgi hai ki ye raushni ghanimat hai chalo kahin pe taalluq

karta kuchh aur hai vo dikhata kuchh aur hai dar-asl silsila pas-e-parda kuchh aur hai har-dam taghayyurat ki zad men

kisi tarah bhi to vo raah par nahin aaya hamare kaam hamara hunar nahin aaya vo yuun mila tha ki

ghadi ghadi use roko ghadi ghadi samjhao magar ye dil hai ki kuchh dekhta hai aao na taao ab us

is andhere men jo thodi raushni maujud hai dil men us ki yaad shayad aaj bhi maujud hai vaqt ki
