KHwab ki tarah bikhar jaane ko ji chahta hai

hijr ki dhup mein chaon jaisi baaten karte hain

mere KHuda mujhe itna to moatabar kar de

azab ye bhi kisi aur par nahin aaya

dayar-e-nur mein tira-shabon ka sathi ho

mera malik jab taufiq arzani karta hai

jaisa hun waisa kyun hun samjha sakta tha main

hami bhi na the munkir-e-ghaalib bhi nahin the

ab bhi tauhin-e-itaat nahin hogi humse

bikhar jaenge hum kya jab tamasha KHatm hoga

wahi pyas hai wahi dasht hai wahi gharana hai

samajh rahe hain magar bolne ka yara nahin

koi to phul khilae dua ke lahje mein

sitaron se bhara ye aasman kaisa lagega

kahan ke nam o nasab ilm kya fazilat kya

shahr-e-gul ke KHas-o-KHashak se KHauf aata hai

thakan to agle safar ke liye bahana tha

suKHan-e-haq ko fazilat nahin milne wali

faza mein wahshat-e-sang-o-sinan ke hote hue

zara si der ko aae the KHwab aankhon mein

inhin mein jite inhin bastiyon mein mar rahte

dost kya KHud ko bhi pursish ki ijazat nahin di

azab-e-wahshat-e-jaan ka sila na mange koi

gali-kuchon mein hangama bapa karna paDega

hum apne raftagan ko yaad rakhna chahte hain

umid-o-bim ke mehwar se haT ke dekhte hain

ye moajiza bhi kisi ki dua ka lagta hai

KHwab-e-derina se ruKHsat ka sabab puchhte hain

wafa ki KHair manata hun bewafai mein bhi

ye basti jaani-pahchani bahut hai

sitara-war jale phir bujha diye gae hum

KHazana-e-zar-o-gauhar pe KHak Dal ke rakh

basti bhi samundar bhi bayaban bhi mera hai

mansab na kulah chahta hun

sar-e-baam-e-hijr diya bujha to KHabar hui

ghairon se dad-e-jaur-o-jafa li gai to kya

KHwab dekhne wali aankhen patthar hongi tab sochenge

ye ab khula ki koi bhi manzar mera na tha

ye bastiyan hain ki maqtal dua kiye jaen

koi muzhda na bashaarat na dua chahti hai

ahl-e-mohabbat ki majburi baDhti jati hai

koi junun koi sauda na sar mein rakkha jae

hum ahl-e-jabr ke nam-o-nasab se waqif hain

samundar is qadar shorida-sar kyun lag raha hai

harim-e-lafz mein kis darja be-adab nikla

rawish mein gardish-e-sayyargan se achchhi hai

dukh aur tarah ke hain dua aur tarah ki

ye qarz-e-kaj-kulahi kab talak ada hoga

kuchh bhi nahin kahin nahin KHwab ke iKHtiyar mein

KHauf ke sail-e-musalsal se nikale mujhe koi
