Dasht-e-ummid Mein KHwabon Ka Safar Karna Tha

dasht-e-ummid mein KHwabon ka safar karna tha

tu ki ek lamha-e-napaid basar karna tha

hum ne kyun aapsi azdad ke nukte DhunDe?

hum ne to KHud ko baham shir-o-shakar karna tha

naqsh banta hi nahin sang-e-samaat pe koi

kund alfaz ko phir tir-o-tabar karna tha

saat-e-dard ki be-chehra o be-nam rahi

qatra-e-ashk ki mahfuz guhar karna tha

tishnagi mahi-e-be-ab si likh honTon par

warna yun bosa-e-saghar se hazar karna tha

mujh pe aayat na koi lafz hi utra 'ahmad'

meri mushkil ki bayan mujh ko safar karna tha
