ye zaman-o-makan ka sitam bhi naya

apni yahi pahchan, yahi apna pata hai

hadd-e-fasil to faqat dard ka sahra nikli

aae the kyun sahra mein jugnu ban kar

kohsar to kahin pe samundar bhi aaenge

har mauj-e-hawadis rakhti hai sine mein bhanwar kuchh pinhan bhi

Dagmagate kabhi qadmon ko sambhalte dekha

hijr-o-visal ke nae manzar bhi aaenge

aaina hun ki main patthar hun ye kab puchhe hai

tazkire fahm o KHirad ke to yahan hote hain

jab apne wadon se un ko makr hi jaana tha

jo parind KHwahishon ke kabhi hum shikar karte

hum zamin ka aatishin ubhaar dekhte rahe

hum nae hain na hai ye kahani nai

wo jo umr bhar mein kahi gai sar-e-sham-e-hijr likhi gai
