dayar-e-shauq mein koson kahin hawa bhi nahin

kah rahi hai ye kya saba kuchh soch

tujhse milunga phir kabhi KHwab-o-KHayal bhi nahin

is tawaqqoa pe khula rakkha gareban apna

aankhon mein chubh rahi hai guzarti ruton ki dhup

ruh-e-ehsas hai tahi-daman

bhala kab tak koi tanha rahega

bujhi hai aag magar is qadar ziyaada nahin

ehsas ke sharar ko hua dene aaunga

phul sahra mein khila de koi

wo mere gham ka mudawa nahin hone deta

kabhi bhule se mumkin ho meri jaanib agar hona

misal-e-sada-waraq tha magar kitab mein tha

tum to auron pe na patthar phenko

hum ajab silsila-e-sair-o-safar rakhte hain
