misl-e-sahra hai rifaqat ka chaman bhi ab ke

saba ka narm sa jhonka bhi taziyana hua

milne ki tarah mujhse wo pal bhar nahin milta

main bhi ai kash kabhi mauj-e-saba ho jaun

dekh lete hain ab us baam ko aate jate

marham-e-waqt na ejaz-e-masihai hai

rache-base hue lamhon se jab hisab hua

dard ki dhup se chehre ko nikhar jaana tha

sukut-e-sham se ghabra na jae aaKHir tu

is kaDi dhup mein saya kar ke

koi aawaz na aahaT na KHayal aise mein

wo ham-safar tha magar us se ham-nawai na thi

ham-rahi ki baat mat kar imtihan ho jaega

injil-e-raftagan ki hadison ke sath hun
