safar mein hai jo azal se ye wo bala hi na ho

jafaen dur tak jati hain kam aabaad shahron mein

thake logon ko majburi mein chalte dekh leta hun

rahta hai ek har us sa qadmon ke sath sath

dil ka safar bas ek hi manzil pe bas nahin

koi dagh hai mere nam par

gham ki barish ne bhi tere naqsh ko dhoya nahin

begangi ka abr-e-giran-e-bar khul gaya

us samt mujhko yar ne jaane nahin diya

shab-e-mahtab ne shah-nashin pe ajib gul sa khila diya

rida us chaman ki uDa le gai

jab bhi ghar ki chhat par jaen naz dikhane aa jate hain

aa gai yaad sham Dhalte hi

shahar parbat bahr-o-bar ko chhoDta jata hun main

is shahr-e-sang-dil ko jala dena chahiye
