Ye daur-e-kam-nazaran hai to phir sila kaisa

ye daur-e-kam-nazaran hai to phir sila kaisa
ye apna ahd hai is ahd ka gila kaisa

bahut dinon se nahin mujh ko iztirab-e-ghazal
ruka hua hai KHayalon ka qafila kaisa

kahan ye sham kahan mere aashna chehre
simaT raha hai tasawwur mein fasla kaisa

kahan ye raat kahan teri bu-e-pairahan
chala tha aaj KHayalon ka silsila kaisa

kai charagh kai suraten kai sae
guzar raha hai na jaane ye qafila kaisa
