Baste haiN mazaamiN jo idraak ki aankhoN meN,
Lafzon ko taraste haiN aksar wo khayaaloN meN,
Paamaal bhi karte haiN zehnoN ke taqaddus ko,
Wo khwaab jo palte hain sheeshe ke makaanoN meN,
khwaahish ke biyaabaN meN kal tak jo bhatakta tha,
DhooNde hai sukooN ab woh tasbeeh ke daanoN meN,
Bedard zamaane ne,kuch apni bhi fitrat ne,
Bahne na diya mujh ko jazbaat ki maujoN meN,
Bahla to liya ham ne bachoN ko magar "ARIZ",
Ik karb tha posheeda masoom sawaaloN meN.
