Bho0l gaye afsane kitne,

Bikhre khuwab suhane kitne.

Dil to hai ik khwab jazera,

Is mein hain verane kitne.

Do aankhen hain sagar teri,

Un mein hain

me-khane kitne.

Saqi ne jab ankh milai,

Toot gaye pemane kitne.

Shamma to ik raat jali thi,

Jal gaye the parwane kitne.

Apno ki tum baat na chero,

Apne hain begaane kitne.

Jangal jangal ronaq dekhi

Shehron mein weerane kitne

Mujh ko mujh se cheen k tora

Ab bante ho anjane kitne…*?
