“Kisi shab khwab mein wo aaye ek baar,
Ibaarat se palat kar muskuraye ek baar,
Honth sil se gaye hamare, na uthi unki palkein bhi ek baar,
Ishrat ka wo pal humne ganwa dia fir ek baar,
Rukhsat pe poocha to wo bole.
Hum milenge qayamat se pehle-ek baar…
Aank khuli to socha kiye,
kya humne dekha khwab fir ek baar?
Haye dil-e-nadaan teri kismat…
Shab-e-intzaar kar gayi khel tujhse fir ek baar.”
