surKHiyan KHun mein Dubi hain sab aKHbaron ki

main uske wade ka ab bhi yaqin karta hun

raKHt-e-safar jo pas hamare na tha to kya

gham o nashat ki har rahguzar mein tanha hun

ho jae jahan sham wahin un ka basera

dil pe ek gham ki ghaTa chhai hui thi kab se

jaanib-e-kucha-o-bazar na dekha jae

buton ko pujne walon ko kyun ilzam dete ho

ghar mein raha tha kaun ki ruKHsat kare hamein

zaban pe shukr o shikayat ke sau fasane hain

un se ummid-e-mulaqat ke baad ai maKHmur

raste shahr ke sab band hue hain tum par

ab aa gae ho to Thahro KHaraba-e-dil mein

bujhti aankhon mein sulagte hue ehsas ki lau

kuchh yun lagta hai tere sath hi guzra wo bhi
