ye zindagi saza ke siwa aur kuchh nahin

mera KHwab-e-tamanna saat-e-bedar jaisa hai

nigah tur pe hai aur jamal sine mein

is sadi ka jab kabhi KHatm-e-safar dekhenge log

tere ishaara-e-abru ka ehtiram karen

aib jo mujh mein hain mere hain hunar tera hai

kisi bhi moD pe roka na gumrahi se mujhe

hai samundar samne pyase bhi hain pani bhi hai

tum pasina mat kaho hai jaan-fishani ka libas

qatra hun main wusat de dariya kar de

kuchh is ada se safiran-e-nau-bahaar chale

jalne ka hunar sirf fatile ke liye tha

parda ruKH-e-fitrat se haTa kar nahin dekha

sadaf ke karb ko wo manta hai

main zamane mein hun lekin ye zamana tera
