Main KHak Mein Mile Hue Gulab Dekhta Raha

main KHak mein mile hue gulab dekhta raha

aur aane wale mausamon ke KHwab dekhta raha

kisi ne mujh se kah diya tha zindagi pe ghaur kar

main shaKH par khila hua gulab dekhta raha

khaDa tha main samundaron ko ok mein liye hue

magar ye shaKHs ajib tha sarab dekhta raha

wo us ka mujh ko dekhna bhi ek tilism tha magar

main aur ek jahan pas-e-naqab dekhta raha

wo gahri nind soi thi main nind se laDa hua

so raat bhar sahab o mahtab dekhta raha

siyah raat mein rafiq dushmanon se ja mile

main hauslon ki TuTti tanab dekhta raha
