ڈسنے لگے ہیں خواب مگر کس سے بولئے

Dasne lage hain khwab magar kis se boliye

main janti thi paal rahi huun sanpoliye

bas ye hua ki us ne takalluf se baat ki

aur ham ne rote rote dupatte bhigo liye

palkon pe kachchi nindon ka ras phailta ho jab

aise men aankh dhuup ke ruḳh kaise kholiye

teri barahnapai ke dukh bantte hue

ham ne khud apne paanv men kante chubho liye

main tera naam le ke tazabzub men pad gai

sab log apne apne azizon ko ro liye

khushbo kahi na jae pa israr hai bahut

aur ye bhi aarzu ki zara zulf kholiye

tasveer jab nai hai naya canvas bhi hai

phir tashtari men rang purane na gholiye
