Dar TaKHayyul Ke Muqaffal Nahin Hone Deta

dar taKHayyul ke muqaffal nahin hone deta

main tujhe aankh se ojhal nahin hone deta

nind aati hai to aankhon mein jagah deta hun

apni palkon ko main bojhal nahin hone deta

kis ko sairab karega wo chhalakta baadal

jo mari pyas ko jal-thal nahin hone deta

chhin leta hai musawwir ke sabhi hosh-o-hawas

husn taswir mukammal nahin hone deta

kis ko iflas ne rakkha hai shagufta-KHatir

ye to bachchon ko bhi chanchal nahin hone deta

koi kandhe pe mere hath dhare hai 'mahtab'

ye taKHayyul mujhe pagal nahin hone deta
