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
koi to zehan ke dar par zarur dastak de
dhup se jism bachae rakhna kitna mushkil hai
aap hi apna safar dushwar-tar maine kiya
jo yaad-e-yar se guft-o-shunid kar li hai
wo ek lamha ki mushkil se kaTne wala tha
qaba-e-jaan purani ho gai kya
