sahra ka pata de na samundar ka pata de

dhaDka tha dil ki pyar ka mausam guzar gaya

ruKH pe bhuli hui pahchan ka Dar to aaya

khiDkiyan mat khol jins-e-jaan uTha le jaega

kabhi to multawi zikr-e-jahan-gardan bhi hona tha

tamir humne ki thi hamin ne gira diye

chha gaya sar pe mere gard ka dhundla baadal

na mil saka kahin DhunDe se bhi nishan mera

peshani-e-hayat pe kuchh aise bal paDe

aage pahuncha jal ka dhaara bajra pichhe chhuT gaya

shajar aangan ka jab suraj se larzan hone lagta tha

bahut qarib hai pat-jhaD ki rut palak na uTha

musafir KHana-e-imkan mein bistar chhoD jate the

wasl arzan waqt ki lekin farawani gai

aaKHiri gaDi guzarne ki sada bhi aa gai
