patthar hai tere hath mein ya koi phul hai
dastur hai duniya ka magar ye to batao
koi aur tarz-e-sitam sochiye
gham hi gham hain teri ummid mein kya rakkha hai
sab hawaen le gaya mere samundar ki koi
puchhte hain baiTh kar pahlu mein wo
socha tha tujhse dur nikal jaenge kahin
jata hun su-e-wadi-e-ghurbat ba-haal-e-zar
ab aaya dhyan ai jaan-e-jahan is na-muradi mein
firdaus humse chhuT ke muddat guzar gai
bachche fareb kha ke chatai pe so gae
dhoka na khao chaaragaro waqiat se
sar-e-mizhgan ye nale ab bhi aansu ko taraste hain
raat biti to ye yaqin aaya
wada kiya tha phir bhi na aae mazar par
