Maut Dil Se LipaT Gai Us Shab

ek KHwab-e-hazimat duniya

ek aahaT dawam KHwahish ki

ek joDi qadim hathon ki

aur aankhon ke band farghul mein

ek KHwahish hamesha rahne ki

ek bistar purani yaadon ka

aur soya hua dil-e-wahshi

aahani ungliyon ke panje mein

ek ghani tirgi ke raste mein

zaiqa bhuli-bisri barish ka

ek saya jhuka hua dil par

der tak aasman se girti hui

ek maddham sada darichon mein

ek pur-shor sail ki aawaz

sans ki silwaTen Duboti hui

kaun tha is samay ke aangan mein

jagti raat ko thapakta hua

kaun tha raat-din ke phere mein

gai duniyaon se ubharta hua

ro raha tha dayar-e-ghurbat mein

aur madum ke ilaqe mein

apni aankhon mein Dal kar miTTi

KHwab takta hua main bachpan ke

ek hanste hue guzishta mein
