safar ye mera ajab imtihan chahta hai

waraq waraq tujhe tahrir karta rahta hun

tamam shahr mein hai aam karobar-e-hawas

band hai aaj bhi tarsil pe rah-e-alfaz

kis ko malum tha ek roz ki yun hona tha

hawa namnak hoti ja rahi hai

roz ek KHwab-e-musalsal aur main

ba-juz mata-e-dil-e-laKHt-laKHt kuchh bhi nahin

koi subut na hoga tumhaare hone ka
