dasht-e-talab mein kab se akela khaDa hun main
zara si baat se manzar badal bhi sakta tha
gham ho ki KHushi koi tamasha nahin karte
ajab nahin jo ye manzar bhi samne aae
dur tak aain nazar dariya mein
chhoTi hi sahi baat ki tasir to dekho
KHwab ka ham-safar raha hun main
khula har manzar-e-fikr-o-nazar aahista aahista
pas jis ke na tha kuchh raKHt-e-safar main hi tha
zindagi hai ki har ek gam nigun-sar hai abhi
dur ta-hadd-e-ufuq manzar sunahra ho gaya
yun to kahne ke liye subh ke aasar bhi the
wo surat jaani pahunchani nahin hai
phir usi samt hai safar mera
gard-e-safar mein aankh se ojhal kitne hi rah-gir hue
