jis taraf chahun pahunch jaun masafat kaisi

uski sochen aur uski guftugu meri tarah

is bar hawaon ne jo bedad-gari ki

subh aur sham ke sab rang haTae hue hain

parinde jhil par ek rabt-e-ruhani mein aae hain

ye kis wahshat-zada lamhe mein daKHil ho gae hain

ye kis maqam pe laya gaya KHudaya mujhe

baaton mein bahut gahrai hai, lahje mein baDi sachchai hai

aankhon ke gham-kadon mein ujale hue to hain

aaenge nazar subh ke aasar mein hum log

kuchh der to duniya mere pahlu mein khaDi thi

KHak chehre pe mal raha hun main

hayat-o-kaenat par kitab likh rahe the hum

subh-sawere KHushbu panghaT jaegi

main nind ke aiwan mein hairan tha kal shab
