Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
jis taraf chahun pahunch jaun masafat kaisi
aankhon ke gham-kadon mein ujale hue to hain
ye kis wahshat-zada lamhe mein daKHil ho gae hain
uski sochen aur uski guftugu meri tarah
is bar hawaon ne jo bedad-gari ki
aaenge nazar subh ke aasar mein hum log
baaton mein bahut gahrai hai, lahje mein baDi sachchai hai
hayat-o-kaenat par kitab likh rahe the hum
suno musafir! sarae-jaan ko tumhaari yaaden jala chuki hain
zamin ki aankh se manzar koi utarte hain
main apne gird lakiren bichhae baiTha hun
waqt ki aankh mein sadiyon ki thakan hai, main hun
main dastaras se tumhaari nikal bhi sakta hun
dasht-o-sahra mein samundar mein safar hai mera
bikherta hai qayas mujhko
