Aks ki kahani ka iqtibas hum hi the

aks ki kahani ka iqtibas hum hi the
aaine ke bahar bhi aas-pas hum hi the

jab shuur-e-insani rabte ka pyasa tha
harf-o-saut ilm-o-fan ki asas hum hi the

faslon ne lamhon ko muntashir kiya to phir
etibar-e-hasti ki ek aas hum hi the

muqtadir mohabbat ki shikwa-sanj mahfil mein
KHamushi ko apnae pur-sipas hum hi the

KHwab ko haqiqat ka rup koi kya deta
munakis tasawwur ka inikas hum hi the
