zehn ki jheel say yaadon ki dhanak phoot'ti hay

Chashm-e-be'khawab pay khawabon ka asar lagta hay,
kaisa pat'jhar hay keh shaakhon pay samar lagta hay,

Mohlat-e-Umr bas itni thi keh guzra hua waqt,
ek dhalkay huye aansu ka safar lagta hay,

kahin kuch aur bhi ho jaun na raiza raiza,
esa toota hun keh jurtay huye dar lagta hay,

zehn ki jheel say yaadon ki dhanak phoot'ti hay,
ek mela hay jo har shaam idhar lagta hay.
