ba-nam-e-amn-o-aman kaun mara jaega
jab KHabar hi na koi mausam-e-gul ki aai
suraj ke ham-safar hain hamari umang ye
bund pani ko mera shahr taras jata hai
thake huon ko jo manzil kaThin ziyaada hui
shikast
jo yaad-e-yar se guft-o-shunid kar li hai
safar ka marhala-e-saKHt hi ghanimat tha
lafz bhi jis ahd mein kho baiThe apna etibar
kabhi to sard laga dopahar ka suraj bhi
hudud-e-waqt ke darwaze muntazir hain nasim
