wo raat ka be-nawa musafir wo tera shair wo tera nasir

niyyat-e-shauq bhar na jae kahin

ye aap hum to bojh hain zamin ka

nind aati nahin to subah talak

yun to har shaKHs akela hai bhari duniya mein

rah-naward-e-bayaban-e-gham sabr kar sabr kar

kuchh yaadgar-e-shahr-e-sitamgar hi le chalen

aaj to be-sabab udas hai ji

yun kis tarah kaTega kaDi dhup ka safar

mujhe to KHair watan chhoD kar aman na mili

girafta-dil hain bahut aaj tere diwane

umr bhar ki nawa-gari ka sila

haal-e-dil hum bhi sunate lekin

tujh bin sari umr guzari

sara din tapte suraj ki garmi mein jalte rahe
