patwar gir gai thi samundar ki god mein

manzil pe bhi pahunch ke mayassar nahin sakun

hamesha aag ke dariya mein ishq kyun utre

TuT kar kitnon ko majruh ye kar sakta hai

sukun wasl mein itna nasib ho ki na ho

gham-e-hasti bhala kab motabar ho

wo kaun tha jo meri zindagi ke daftar se

koi zamin hai to koi aasman hai

main lafz lafz mein tujhko talash karta hun

gham-e-firaq ko sine se lag ke sone do

wo meri fahm ka leta hai imtihan shayad

main shua-e-zat ke sine mein gunja hun kabhi

chubh raha tha dil mein har dam kar raha tha be-qarar
