mauja-e-ashk se bhigi na kabhi nok-e-qalam

panw se lag ke khaDi hai ye gharib-ul-watani

KHalwat-e-ummid mein raushan hai ab tak wo charagh

itna roya hun gham-e-dost zara sa hans kar

aa base kitne nae log makan-e-jaan mein

kuchh usulon ka nasha tha kuchh muqaddas KHwab the

koi mausam ho yahi soch ke ji lete hain

gard-e-shohrat ko bhi daman se lipaTne na diya

ruh ka lamba safar hai ek bhi insan ka qurb

main ek bab tha afsana-e-wafa ka magar

iqbaal ki nawa se musharraf hai go naim

sach to ye ki abhi dil ko sukun hai lekin

ek dariya par kar ke aa gaya hun uske pas

jo mere dasht-e-junun mein tha farq-e-ru-e-bahaar

main apni ruh mein usko basa chuka itna
