hamein KHabar hai koi ham-safar na tha phir bhi

ye sarguzisht-e-zamana ye dastan-e-hayat

main apni zat ki tashrih karta phirta tha

na jaane log Thaharte hain waqt-e-sham kahan

wahi miTTi hai sab ke chehron par

wo shayad koi sachchi baat kah de

dhup ki garmi se inTen pak gain phal pak gae

maile kapDon ka apna rang bhi tha

kise KHabar ki guhar kaise hath aate hain

dekha hai ye parchhain ki duniya mein ki aksar

hawa mein KHushbuen meri pahchan ban gai thin

ruh ki gahrai mein pata hun peshani ke zaKHm

ye kahin umr-e-guzishta to nahin tum to nahin

ai jalti ruto gawah rahna

meri gali ke makin ye mere rafiq-e-safar
