ek dasht-e-be-aman ka safar hai chale-chalo

abr aankhon se uThe hain tera daman mil jae

hazaron sal safar kar ke phir wahin pahunche

andhera itna nahin hai ki kuchh dikhai na de

bichhDe hue KHwab aa ke pakaD lete hain daman

mangne walon ko kya izzat o ruswai se

but banane pujne phir toDne ke waste

umr bhar milte rahe phir bhi na milne pae

har ek lamha kiya qarz zindagi ka ada

tu ghazal ban ke utar baat mukammal ho jae

jo sunna chaho to bol uTThenge andhere bhi

meri uDan agar mujhko niche aane de

masjid ho madrasa ho ki majlis ki mai-kada

kirnon se tarasha hua ek nur ka paikar

lete hain tera nam hi yun jagte sote
